Marco A Santori of Kraken Digital Asset Exchange
Marco Santori was appointed chief legal officer of cryptocurrency services business Kraken in 2020, having already forged a reputation as one of the pioneers of the ascendant cryptocurrency and blockchain technology sector. Santori has played a key part in the development of the field, being one of the first legal minds on the scene advising digital currency start-ups on commercial and regulatory issues. Santori, who’s private practice career has included stints at Cooley, Pillsbury and Nesenoff & Miltenberg, recently joined Kraken after a stint at Blockchain, where he was tasked with navigating the start-up through an as yet uncertain regulatory landscape governing the actions of early-stage cryptocurrency businesses. He can draw upon a wealth of experience aiding legislative and regulatory bodies on public policy issues related to blockchain and cryptocurrencies, having been named as a Blockchain Legal Ambassador to the State of Delaware and serving on the IMF’s advisory group on fintech.
