He was the global co-head for operations and managing director at Goldman Sachs for one year. He was also the global head for operations for Equities for nearly five years. He was previously vice president of Credit Suisse for six-years before joining Goldman Sachs.
Bartlett made the announcement on Linkedin Friday
It’s now time to embrace the cryptocurrency economy after 16 years of working at Goldman Sachs. It is with great joy that I announce that I will be joining Coinbase next week to manage Global Financial Operations.
He said that it was now time to use his Goldman Sachs experience and follow his passion to enable the next generation of crypto economies.
Ex-executive at Goldman Sachs stated that the “inspirational purpose-driven mission to create economic freedom around the world, in customer first, automated first approach, is a once in lifetime opportunity to be part building the next phase of the digital revolution.”
Coinbase, a Nasdaq-listed cryptocurrency trading platform, is listed on the Nasdaq. According to the company, Friday’s announcement showed that 89 million verified users have joined its platform. During the same time, 11.4 million monthly users transacted on the platform.
Coinbase also stated that the trading volume grew more than 85% last year and that its “market share” of trading volume increased for almost all assets.
