Securitize grabbed Jerome Roche as its new general counsel after the spot sat empty since Tom Eidt bailed earlier in the year. Roche comes from PayPal, where he ran legal for digital assets and helped launch their PayPal USD stablecoin while racking up over two decades of experience across fintech and banking sectors.
The tokenization platform said bringing Roche aboard marks a serious move as the company gears up to go public and expand regulated infrastructure across American and European markets. Securitize handles tokenization services for funds with four billion bucks under management.
Roche spent three and a half years at PayPal before that gig, and he previously worked as a partner at Linklaters, plus over ten years at Mayer Brown. His legal career kicked off at the Securities and Exchange Commission before he jumped into private practice at WilmerHale.
