Brass has leased Tammy Weinrib as Chief Compliance Officer for America as it expands in the US
Crypto custody firm Copper has hired Tammy Weinrib as the new Chief Compliance Officer and Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) official for America, the company said in a press release Monday.
Weinrib will lead the company’s licensing drive to the US market and will be part of Copper’s executive team, based in New York.
His lease is part of the bronze expansion in the US, and adheres to the appointment of Amar kuchinad as a global CEO in October last year.
Weinrib has previously worked as Chief Compliance Officer and BSA officer in Binance.us. Prior to this he worked at the Crypto Exchange Gemini.
He enjoyed a career in traditional finance before entering the crypto, with stints at Wall Street Bank Citi (C), the Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and Standard Chartered (STAN).
“His appointment marks an important step forward as we accelerate our growth strategy and expand our offer of traditional finance,” said Amar Kuchinad, CEO’s Global CEO, on the release.
Copper said in December that it removed its application to be regulated in the UK financial service regulator.
The decision is part of the company’s strategic move to focus on markets such as the US, Europe and the Middle East.
