MoonPay Strengthens Board and Advisors

We are at a defining moment in the history of finance. The infrastructure of global value movement is being rebuilt on open, programmable rails, and the institutions, regulators, and builders who have spent decades shaping traditional markets are now moving decisively into the new one. 

Crypto is no longer a parallel system. It is becoming the system.

MoonPay was founded to make this transition simple: one account, every wallet, every blockchain, every payment method, all connected. We now serve more than 30 million customers across 180 countries and over 500 enterprise clients, and we are building the network that lets people and businesses move value instantly, anywhere, on their own terms.

On the heels of this momentum, we're excited to announce that four new leaders are joining MoonPay. Amy Butte and Mike Hayes have joined the Board of Directors of MoonPay Inc., Jonathan Auerbach has joined the board of MoonPay USA LLC, and Tad Smith is joining as an advisor. Their backgrounds span national security, global payments, capital markets, and media and entertainment. They each have vastly different career paths, but have all arrived at the same conclusion: the opportunity in front of MoonPay is generational, and they want to help build it.

"The people who choose to join you say as much about your company as anything on your balance sheet," said Ivan Soto-Wright, co-founder and CEO of MoonPay. "Jonathan, Amy, Mike, and Tad have each led through moments where an entire industry was being reshaped. That's exactly where we are. MoonPay was founded to make moving value as simple as sending a message, and the team we're assembling reflects the scale of that ambition."

Jonathan Auerbach spent nearly a decade at PayPal as Chief Strategy and Growth Officer, where he led the company's M&A and Ventures teams, served as Chairman of PayPal's Operating Group, and incubated its blockchain and digital currency business, including the launch of PayPal USD, the company's US dollar stablecoin. Previously he was CEO of Digital Life at SingTel, Asia's leading communications group, and he was at McKinsey & Co for 27 years, where he was a Senior Partner, and led the Firm's U.S. technology practice amongst other leadership roles. He serves on the Board of Directors of Principal Financial Group and is a life member of the Council on Foreign Relations. He graduated Phi Beta Kappa, Magna Cum Laude from Dartmouth College, where he was a National Harry S. Truman Scholar, and received a B.A. and M.A. from Oxford University as a Keasbey Memorial Foundation Scholar.
