Crypto Custodian Copper Appoints Former SEC Advisor Amar Kuchinad as New Global CEO

As a seasoned researcher with a keen eye for the financial industry, I find Amar Kuchinad’s appointment as Copper’s new global CEO intriguing. His impressive background in investment banking at Credit Suisse and Goldman Sachs, coupled with his stint as a senior policy advisor to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), suggests that he brings a wealth of experience to the table.

According to a statement released on Monday, Copper, a company specializing in cryptocurrency storage, has selected Amar Kuchinad as their new Chief Executive Officer on a global scale.

Kuchinad is set to succeed Dmitry Tokarev, who is relinquishing his position as CEO following a tenure of seven years, according to the company. Previous reports from CoinDesk indicated that Tokarev intended to step down as CEO.

The incoming CEO is tasked with guiding our worldwide expansion plans, particularly by enhancing our influence in the United States, as stated by Copper.

Prior to his current role, Kuchinad had experience with financial institutions such as Credit Suisse and Goldman Sachs (GS), and he also held a position as a senior policy consultant at the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

In July, Copper obtained a Trust or Company Service Provider (TCSP) license in Hong Kong, which is a key step in their broader strategy for international growth.
