CEO - Encore

Institutional Bitcoin Asset Management Platform

Encore, backed by Cumberland Labs (Web3 incubator by DRW and Cumberland) and Further Ventures (Abu Dhabi-based, ADQ-backed), is building a next-generation asset manager centered on Bitcoin. Our mission: unlock institutional access to BTC through compliant, yield-generating products tailored for HNWIs, family offices, and institutional allocators.

We're seeking a visionary CEO to lead Encore from inception to market leadership. The ideal candidate brings proven leadership in traditional finance, deep knowledge of Bitcoin and crypto markets, and a strong track record in go-to-market strategy, product execution, and client acquisition.

• Product & Investment Strategy: Lead the creation of compliant BTC-focused products (e.g. BTC-Fi, credit, volatility) that meet institutional standards across performance, compliance, and risk.
• Team & Culture: Build and lead a world-class team across investment, ops, compliance, and tech. Foster a culture of innovation, accountability, and integrity.
• Operations & Compliance: Establish scalable infrastructure with rigorous compliance, risk, and governance standards.
• Investor & Board Engagement: Report to Encore's board and investor base. Provide clear, strategic updates and align growth with stakeholder expectations
