We are honored to announce that MoonPay’s Chief Legal & Administrative Officer, Lindsey Haswell, has been appointed to the California Breakthrough Project, an initiative launched by Governor Gavin Newsom to enhance government efficiency, engagement and effectiveness.

Announced today, the California Breakthrough Project brings together top tech leaders from companies like AME Cloud Ventures, Anduril, Coinbase, Instacart, Ripple and Snapchat to collaborate with state agencies. 

The goal? To streamline government processes, spark innovative solutions, and deliver better services for Californians. As the home of Silicon Valley and 32 of the world’s top 50 AI companies, California is uniquely positioned to lead this charge, and Lindsey will play a key role in shaping its future. 

With extensive experience navigating complex regulatory landscapes in fintech and blockchain, Lindsey is poised to bring fresh perspectives to the project. She will work hand-in-hand with state leaders and front-line employees to identify inefficiencies, foster collaboration, and develop modern, challenge-based solutions, all while prioritizing transparency and ethical safeguards.

“Joining the California Breakthrough Project is a unique opportunity to drive meaningful change in the world’s fifth largest economy,” said Lindsey Haswell, Chief Legal & Administrative Officer at MoonPay. “I’m thrilled to collaborate with fellow tech leaders to modernize government operations and create real value for Californians.”
