Leigh Travers, CEO of Binance Australia, has declared his resignation from the top post.
Leigh Travers joined Binance, a crypto exchange, in 2021, after having worked at DigitalX Limited (ASX:DCC) for seven years. DigitalX, the first blockchain technology company to be publicly listed, first hired Travers in 2014 as a Prop Trader.
After that, he was promoted to VP Business Development and Investor Relations before being appointed CEO of DigitalX in 2016.
Leigh Travers, posted on his social media:
“After nearly two years at Binance Australia, I am stepping back from my position as CEO and handing over the reins to Ben Rose, who has been doing an outstanding job managing Binance New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.
In the coming weeks, I will be working closely with Ben to ensure a smooth handover of operations in the region and introduce him to our network of partners and stakeholders that we work with across the community as part of Binance’s commitment to growing the Web3 industry.
I am looking forward to watching the growth of the Web3 industry and of Binance and will continue to support the Binance business as a Director of Binance Australia Derivatives.
I am immensely proud of my time at Binance in which we grew to over 1 million users in the last two years. None of this would have been possible without the support of the crypto community.
To my team, my colleagues and the community. Thank you, it has been a privilege”.
Ben Rose, who has held the position of General Manager of Binance New Zealand for the past year, will be stepping into the role vacated by the previous individual.
