Fernando Luis Vazquez Cao Joins BitMEX as Non-Executive Director
BitMEX, one of the world's leading crypto derivatives platforms, today announced the appointment of Fernando Luis Vazquez Cao as a Non-Executive Director with immediate effect.
As seen on his LinkedIn profile, Fernando is a 20-year veteran of the technology and financial services sectors in Asia Pacific. He is currently CEO of digital asset powerhouse SBI Digital Asset Holdings.
Fernando's career began in academia with a stint as a researcher at Universidade de Vigo, Spain, his alma mater, where he first got deeply involved with the budding Linux and open source communities. This led him to the commercial world with a number of roles at the NTT Group, eventually becoming a founding member and technical director of NTT Open Source Software Center and a fellow at NTT Data Intellilink, where he built a team that made major contributions to open source projects that underpin modern cloud and internet services. This included the development of enterprise features that helped open source become a mainstay in mission critical systems. He then transitioned into the fintech world, joining Japanese giant SBI.
"SBI Digital Asset Holdings has been created with a mindset to disrupt global markets," said Dr. David Wong, Chairman of BitMEX. "That's exactly the mission we have. Fernando's experience across a wide range of the areas relevant to our transformation also makes him an ideal Non-Executive Director."
"I'm excited to be joining the BitMEX team at a time when it is growing rapidly and there are so many opportunities," Fernando said. "My experience in technology and many digital asset areas will provide the team with a sounding board as they accelerate the company's transformation."
