Digital Asset Firm Kraken Appoints Carrie Dolan as Chief Financial Officer

The team at digital assets firm Kraken is pleased to welcome Carrie Dolan, who is a recognized financial services veteran ‘in high-growth consumer Fintechs and Fortune 500 companies, as Kraken’s newly appointed Chief Financial Officer (CFO).”

Carrie will be expected to serve a key role “in the execution of Kraken’s strategy to become the crypto portal of choice for both retail and professional investors.”

Kraken CEO Jesse Powell stated:

“As a rapidly growing crypto platform, finance is the cornerstone of everything we do. Carrie exemplifies everything we could hope for in a CFO and we welcome her to the Kraken team,. Carrie is a big believer in the future of crypto and brings a strong track record of experience across legacy finance, fintech startups and global marketplaces. I’m very confident that Carrie’s talent, drive and record of scaling disruptive companies in regulated industries, will be instrumental in further expanding our business and laying the foundation for the next growth stage for our company.”

Carrie joins Kraken from Tradeshift, a digital payments and trade finance platform, where she successfully “helped the company grow and scale its business.”

Before Tradeshift, she held key leadership roles “at Lending Club, Metromile, Charles Schwab, and Chevron.”

While at Lending Club, she managed its 2014 IPO, “raising $1 billion in capital and making it one of the top 10 U.S.-based internet public offerings.”

Carrie remarked:

“The world has recently realized that crypto is here to stay as mainstream adoption accelerates to an unprecedented pace. Kraken is at the forefront of driving mass awareness for the value and opportunity the technology brings. I’m excited to join this incredible company at a pivotal time and work with the rest of the team to continue delivering on Kraken’s mission to drive mainstream adoption by making sure crypto is understood, easily accessible and trusted.”

2021 was a record year for Kraken “on many fronts.”

The firm reports that it “doubled the size of the company’s workforce while expanding our core exchange offering and further diversified our product suite.”

The addition of Carrie to their executive team is “the latest in a series of strategic hires at Kraken, which include Pranesh Anthapur as Chief People Officer and Mike Davidson as Vice President of Design.”
