Digital Asset Names Co-Founder Rooz CEO
In his prior roles as COO and CFO of the company, Rooz has hired its existing management and overseen its acquisitions to date.
New York-based blockchain technology provider Digital Asset has appointed co-founder and COO officer Yuval Rooz CEO, replacing executive chairman AG Gangadhar, who has served as acting CEO since the departure of former CEO Blythe Masters in December.
Since co-founding Digital Asset in 2014, Rooz has also served as CFO, and hired most of the company’s management and oversaw the acquisition of four technology startups. Before joining the vendor, Rooz was a member of the investment team at DRWVC, the venture capital arm of DRW Trading, where he spent almost five years as a trader and senior algorithmic trader, prior to which he worked on risk models for Citadel Investment Group’s global equities business.
The Digital Asset Board voted unanimously to appoint Rooz CEO. “Yuval has helped build Digital Asset from the ground up and has the strategic vision, deep industry relationships, and technical expertise to continue growing the business and driving innovation in the development of distributed ledger solutions,” says board member and DTCC president and CEO Michael Bodson.
