Copper.co, a cryptocurrency custodian and trading solutions provider, has appointed Michael Roberts, Adam Groom, Paul Barham, Ben Carr and Ross Budgen. The five join Copper with immediate effect, as the company progresses with plans to enhance its prime infrastructure offering.
Roberts will lead the new team, bringing the best part of two decades’ experience to his new role, joining from Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BAML) where he was a managing director and EMEA head of the bank’s prime platform.
He will be joined by former BAML directors Groom and Barham, who most recently led relationship management and product development, respectively, for BAML’s prime platform in EMEA. Supporting this senior team are Carr and Budgen, who add expertise in product development, account management and analytics. Together, they have more than 45 years’ experience in prime services.
Reporting to Boris Bohrer-Bilowitzki, Chief Revenue Officer at Copper, the five will work with Copper’s existing team to accelerate the expansion of prime infrastructure; in terms of custody, collateral management and hedging services, as more prime brokers join the Copper ecosystem and its proprietary ClearLoop network.
