VICTORIA, Seychelles, May 21, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Bitget, the leading cryptocurrency
exchange and Web 3 company, today announces the appointment of
Gracy Chen as its new Chief
Executive Officer (CEO), effective in May
2024, succeeding Sandra Lou,
who will be leaving the platform to pursue her own business goals.
With over 10 years of experience in business management, marketing,
and investment, Gracy proves herself to be a leading female
entrepreneur in the crypto world.
Since 2014, as a notable TV host, Gracy found herself
increasingly drawn into the dynamic world of blockchain technology,
hence, cryptocurrencies through her interactions with
knowledgeable guests like Tim
Draper. Each interview not only enriched her show but also
deepened her fascination with this emerging field. Her growing
passion for the subject soon evolved to invest in several
crypto startups, including Bitkeep (currently Bitget
Wallet), the largest Web 3 multi-chain wallet in Asia.
In June 2022, Gracy joined Bitget
as its first Managing Director (MD), leading Bitget's growth
strategies as the platform accelerates its global expansion plan.
Over the past two years, her exceptional ability to manage and
inspire multinational decentralized teams has been
instrumental in navigating the fast-paced and highly competitive
cryptocurrency landscape. One of her most remarkable
achievements was co-leading the strategy that quadrupled Bitget's
user base through partnerships with legendary footballer
Leo Messi as well as the
establishment of a robust global affiliate network. This solidified
Bitget's position as a top-five crypto exchange and
Web 3 platform.
"I'm extremely honored to step into the role of CEO at
Bitget," said Gracy Chen. "Over the
past six years, with the robust foundation we've built and an
incredible team by my side, Bitget has transformed into a leading
crypto platform. By consistently innovating in product
offerings and creating value for our 25 million users, Bitget has
risen to become a top 5 futures trading platform and a top 10 spot
trading platform. I'm thrilled to continue to be part of shaping
this industry that is on the edge of innovation, empowering the
future of digital finance. It's a privilege to lead such a dynamic
group and I can't wait to steer our global expansion to new
heights!"
Gracy is also advocating for a more diverse and inclusive
crypto industry by leading two Corporate Social
Responsibility (CSR) initiatives at Bitget. She spearheaded the
launch of the #Blockchain4Youth campaign in May 2023, aiming to drive Web 3 adoption by
inspiring the younger generation to embrace crypto and
blockchain. The activity partnered with over 50 educational
institutions and benefits over 6,000 young talents in just one
year. As a key initiator of Bitget's #Blockchain4Her
initiative, her vision for a sustainable future involves
integrating inclusivity and gender diversity into the blockchain
industry, ensuring females have equal opportunities and
representation in this transformative sector.
Beyond her responsibilities at Bitget, Gracy is proactively
seeking opportunities to contribute to the
cryptocurrency field. As a columnist for major
publications such as Forbes and Cointelegraph, she has published
over 50 articles to introduce blockchain to the public. She is also
known as a judge of the first reality crypto TV show
Killer Whales, a program co-created by Hollywood producers. The show aims to discover
promising Web 3 projects and empower them to make a real-life
impact. Her contributions earned her recognition as a Global Shaper
by the World Economic Forum in 2015, and she was elected to the
Forbes Business Council in 2023.
Gracy holds a Bachelor's Degree from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and an MBA
degree from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology (MIT).
