Security token exchange VRBex announced on Wednesday it has appointed Chuck Ocheret as its new and first Chief Technology Officer (CTO).

Speaking about Ocheret’s appointment, VRBex CEO, Gene Grant, stated:
“Chuck is deeply knowledgeable about building end-to-end systems in a robust way to make sure people’s assets and digital wallets are secure. His experience with fintech companies and disruptive approaches, which requires tremendous interaction with regulators, will be a key contributor to the success of VRBex.”
Ocheret also commented:
“Building elegant, industrial-grade, secure, and high-performance systems is my business. At VRBex, we’re building systems from inception that will allow agility within this rapidly evolving technical, business, and regulatory environment. Trust is a big issue in financial services and is sorely needed in the cryptocurrency markets. We’ll provide that.”
