Arcane Crypto has recruited Morgan Stanley’s former European head of securities lending flow trading Eva Lawrence as its new COO.
Oslo-based Arcane Crypto develops and invests in projects, focusing on bitcoin and digital assets.
Lawrence brings experience from her eight years with Morgan Stanley, which began in 2010 as vice president focused on securities lending and repo, before taking on her management role in 2015.
She is also a UK-qualified lawyer, specialising in contract law, digital assets, funds and financial services.
Since 2018, Lawrence has been focusing on business development, partnerships and operations with start-ups in artificial intelligence and machine learning, cryptocurrencies and fintech.
In this capacity, she has also served as an advisor for start-ups Pure Digital Markets and alphaplate since January.
“I am extremely happy that Eva has decided to join us,” says Torbjørn Bull Jenssen, CEO Arcane Crypto.
“Her background from traditional finance, combined with an appetite for business development and a deep understanding of bitcoin and digital assets is truly unique.”
“Arcane is working to bridge the gap between the old and the new financial system and to do that you need a team with high-quality people from both worlds.”
Lawrence says: “Arcane have already demonstrated their ability to develop and invest in industry-leading companies aimed at filling the gaps in the infrastructure for bitcoin and digital assets and I look forward to building on this with them.”
