London-based crypto payments company BCB Group is making its fifth executive shakeup in 18 months with the loss of chief compliance officer Natasha Powell.
Powell declined to disclose her new position, saying it was not a rival, but said in an email, “I am stepping away from the day-to-day running of the business.” Kym Routledge will take over as head of compliance following her departure.
“Natasha was instrumental in building BCB Group’s world-class compliance program, which now forms the foundation of our regulated businesses,” CEO Oliver Tonkin said in an emailed statement. “While I am sad to see her leave, I am delighted to announce that she will continue to support BCB as a non-executive director of BCB Payments.”
Powell’s departure follows the departure of former CEO Oliver von Landsberg-Sadie in November to pursue new opportunities. Her departure comes just five months after Vice Chairman Noah Sharp left the company following the failed acquisition of Germany’s Sutor Bank. Chief banking officer Ian Moore left the payments company in September last year and BCB’s former chief revenue officer Lux Thiagarajah joined crypto prime broker FalconX as head of commercial FX in May.
