BitPanda has had an internal shake around and appointed Peter Grausgruber as their new chief financial offer. The news of the appointment was made earlier on their website, where the new man himself explained, “The focus of my career is to help companies grow”. Something he states will be at the head of his priorities now that is working at the exchange platform, which just last month rolled out their new global exchange product. [cta text='Visit BitPanda' href='/out/bi'] He went on to say “Now, I support Bitpanda in scaling their growth strategy. As CFO, I’m not only responsible for financial matters, but also for further establishing their professional structures and assisting with their ambitious expansion plan.” However, it will be a new industry for the new appointee who spent the last 6 years working for the oil and gas company, OMV, operating as a Head of Strategy for their upstream division. Although he had previous experience elsewhere in the financial sector for a PwC Austria where, within the consulting department, he dealt with strategy and finance-related topics. Now, his focus will be on a different form of finance in the form of the cryptocurrency industry and join a 154-member team. It is likely that what Grasugraber will be hoping to do is help BitPanda on their route to becoming a payment service provider, after securing the appropriate licensing back in April. A new dawn for the exchange platform, who states that it will help them “close the gap between the old and the new world of finance.”
