Portfolio company Axoni has hired Mas Nakachi as their new Vice President of Strategy and Business Development. Nakachi is currently a Senior Advisor to OpenGamma, a derivatives analytics software company, and is also working on numerous independent projects in the cryptocurrency / blockchain and machine learning spaces.
“I believe the financial services transformation powered by blockchain technology is just beginning. There are many unique challenges when bringing a fundamentally new technology to market but I believe the Axoni team is the best positioned to capitalize on this immense opportunity and I greatly look forward to working with them,” stated Nakachi. “Axoni’s business leadership is as technically proficient as they are knowledgeable of market structure.
