Robinhood Crypto Head to Depart
Christine Brown spent five years at the popular, no-commission trading platform.
The Robinhood (HOOD) executive overseeing the trading platform's cryptocurrency initiatives, Christine Brown, is leaving the firm, Brown said in a tweet Tuesday.
- Brown, who spent five years at the firm, said she would be "staying in the crypto space" but did not specify what project she would be working on. The Block first broke the news.
- "I'm moving on to start something new," Brown said, adding: "I joined RH when it was under 100 people – before we even offered a crypto product. Watching us grow through [initial public offering] and serving more than 22 [million] users has been the greatest professional experience of my life."
After 5 amazing years at @RobinhoodApp, I’m moving on to start something new.
