Gemini Strengthens Compliance Team with Ex-Morgan Stanley Executive Noah Perlman

Gemini’s New Chief Compliance Officer

In a strategic move to bolster its regulatory framework, the Winklevoss brothers’ Gemini exchange has appointed Noah Perlman as its chief compliance officer. This announcement was made by Tyler Winklevoss himself on September 4th, marking a significant addition to their leadership team.

Experience That Counts

Perlman brings with him over a decade of experience from his tenure at Morgan Stanley, where he held the prestigious title of global head of financial crimes. With a career dedicated to compliance and regulatory issues, he also oversaw the execution of critical programs like anti-money laundering and anti-corruption efforts.

A Robust Legal Background

Before immersing himself in the corporate world, Perlman served as an assistant United States attorney, tackling cases at the U.S. Attorney Office for the Eastern District of New York. His impressive resume also includes a stint as division counsel at the Drug Enforcement Administration, giving him a solid grounding in the legal aspects of financial operations.

Gemini’s Expanding Team

Perlman isn’t the only heavy-hitter joining the Gemini team recently. In mid-August, David Damato was brought on board as chief security officer, bringing his expertise in cybersecurity from his previous role at Tanium. This addition signifies Gemini’s commitment to ensuring a safe trading environment for its users.

The Winklevoss Brothers Eye New Partnerships

Not content to rest on their laurels, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss have recently expressed interest in collaborating with their long-time rival, Mark Zuckerberg, on the Libra project. They see Libra as a gateway to mass adoption of cryptocurrencies, potentially bridging gaps between traditional and digital finance.

Expansion Plans and Future Growth

As part of their growth strategy, Gemini has also opened a new office in Chicago, which will function as an engineering hub to enhance their trading and custody operations. This move highlights their ambition to scale operations and improve efficiency as the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve.
