Breaking New Ground
Amber Baldet, the former captain of JPMorgan Chase’s Blockchain Center of Excellence ship, has set sail on a new adventure, leaving her position to dive into the entrepreneurial waters. Reports from reputable sources like Reuters and Fortune confirm this big shift that has prompted a mix of curiosity and excitement.
Master of Blockchain
Described in Fortune’s “40 under 40” as someone who effortlessly navigates between Wall Street and the crypto world, Baldet earned her stripes while spearheading the development of Quorum, JPMorgan’s innovative platform for Blockchain and smart contracts. Not bad for a former Wall Street exec, right?
What’s Next, Amber?
Although she has left fans and followers in suspense with little information about her next endeavor, Baldet did share a thumbs-up emoji along with Fortune’s article announcing her departure. The air of mystery—combined with a playful attitude—has only heightened interest in her future project.
Well Wishes and Transitions
Jessica Francisco, a spokesperson for JPMorgan, expressed sincere gratitude for Baldet’s contributions: “Amber is extremely talented and helped build the outstanding team we have today.” This blend of admiration and well-wishing is a clear nod to her pivotal role in the firm.
Successor’s Spotlight
With Baldet’s exit, the torch has been passed to Christine Moy, a seasoned product manager within the Blockchain Center of Excellence. Umar Farooq, head of JPMorgan’s Blockchain Initiatives, praised Moy as a thought leader who has been part of the BCOE since its inception.
The Bigger Picture: Female Leaders in Blockchain
Baldet’s departure is not an isolated incident; she’s part of a growing trend where female voices are stepping up in the Blockchain sector. Sheri Kaiserman, another formidable player, has recently left Wall Street’s Wedbush Securities to co-found a blockchain investment fund. Are we witnessing the rise of a female-led revolution in tech?
