The read

Coinbase experienced leadership churn in Q1, with two Director-level CXO departures to Kraken from its International Exchange and VP-level exits to Airwallex, Remitly, and Optiver spanning business development, infrastructure security, and talent functions. The firm countered by bringing in an APAC Chief Compliance Officer from Revolut, a new Country Director for Canada, and a CISO, alongside VP-level hires in strategic planning and Base communications. Net headcount rose +19 with engineering absorbing the bulk of new hires, while 34 profiles now signal open-to-work status. The pattern suggests Coinbase is fortifying compliance and regional leadership even as competitors poach product and platform executives.
