Cryptocurrency payments solution MoonPay has appointed Nils Puhlmann as its Chief Risk and Security Officer.
Puhlmann was previously the Chief Trust and Security Officer at travel tech firm TripActions and before that held the same role at Twilio, a cloud communications platform-as-a-service based in San Francisco.
He was also the co-founder and former board member of the Cloud Security Alliance, a global community of over 50,000 computer security professionals.
In his role at MoonPay, Puhlmann will focus on assuring the safety and security of all operations as the company continues to scale.
The company says his wealth of experience in security, risk management, and compliance will be critical as MoonPay grows its user and partner base across new markets, ensuring the business adheres to all regulations and creating a secure ecosystem for its users.
Puhlmann’s appointment follows MoonPay’s hiring of former Coinbase UK CEO, Zeeshan Feroz, as its Chief Growth Officer in March.
