London-based technology company Copper.co (Copper) has appointed Sabrina Wilson as chief operating officer.
Founded in 2018 by Dmitry Tokarev, Copper is a provider of digital asset custody and trading infrastructure.
In her new role, Wilson will be responsible for leading Copper’s operations, as tier 1 banks and other financial institutions increasingly allocate funds to digital assets.
Prior to Copper.co, Wilson was global co-head of the futures, over-the-counter clearing and FX prime brokerage business and also oversaw a period of development of the bank’s global execution and algorithmic platforms in futures.
Wilson has also held other senior roles at Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Deutsche Bank.
At Deutsche Bank, Wilson was the European clearing head and global head of exchange-traded derivatives electronic execution.
Commenting on her new role, Wilson says: “It is an exciting time to be joining Copper, to work with the team to provide digital asset custody and trading solutions to the traditional financial sector. 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.”
Tokarev adds “Our goal is to bring the technology underlying digital assets into the wider financial world. To do that, we need individuals like Sabrina, who have experience across world leading traditional financial institutions, to align our operations even closer with the needs of accredited investors, so it can best contribute to the evolution of global financial infrastructure. I look forward to seeing how the business will grow with her expertise adding to the strength of our senior leadership team.”
