Copper today announced the appointment of Sabrina Wilson as Chief Operating Officer. Sabrina takes up her new role with immediate effect.

With an impressive career in Financial Services, Sabrina is well equipped to lead Copper’s operations and best serve their growing client-base, as tier 1 banks and other financial institutions increasingly allocate funds to digital assets.

At Citi, Sabrina was the Global co-Head of the Futures, OTC Clearing and FX Prime Brokerage business and also oversaw a period of development of the bank’s global execution and algorithmic platforms in Futures. Throughout her career, Sabrina has navigated many regulatory changes, such as the introduction of MIFID II, Dodd-Frank, EMIR and more recently advised the EU Commission and ESMA on Clearing regulation, which makes her well-placed to steer Copper through the rapidly changing environment of global crypto regulations.

Sabrina’s banking career history also includes Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank; at which she was the European Clearing Head and Global Head of Exchange Traded Derivatives Electronic Execution. In her career, she has built up extensive experience in managing global businesses, teams and products across London, New York and Singapore.

As institutional investors increasingly embrace crypto as an essential asset class, I am confident the advances in technology that Copper is making will become the gold-standard for global financial infrastructure in the future.”

Dmitry Tokarev, CEO, Copper.co, added; “Our goal is to bring the technology underlying digital assets into the wider financial world.
