I joined Binance in 2023 as its Global Chief Compliance Officer. Before Binance, I worked at Gemini, first as CCO and then as Chief Operating Officer. I also served as President and CEO of the Gemini Trust Company, LLC, a New York trust company regulated by the the New York State Department of Financial Services. Before starting in crypto, I was a Managing Director and the Global Head of Financial Crimes at Morgan Stanley, where I had legal and compliance responsibility for the Firm’s Anti-Money Laundering, Sanctions, Anti-Boycott, Anti-Corruption and Government and Political Activities programs. Earlier in my career I was the Division Counsel for the United States Drug Enforcement Administration’s New York Division. Prior to my stint with DEA I was an Assistant United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York where I held several supervisory posts including Special Coordinator for Crimes against Children and Deputy Chief of the Narcotics Section.
