Krishna Juvvadi Joins Binance.US as Head of Legal
According to a Thursday blog post, Binance.US has hired Krishna Juvvadi, former global head of operations compliance at Uber, as its new head of legal. He also worked for the US Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division as a trial attorney early in his career.
At Binance US, Juvvadi will lead the day-to-day operations of the company's legal department. He will further report to Norman Reed, who joined Binance US in December as general counsel, with prior experiences from the US SEC, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, crypto and the fintech sector.
By joining the company, Juvvadi follows the path of Binance.US CEO Brian Shroder, who was the head of strategy and business development for Uber in the Asia Pacific from 2016 to 2018.
Forging Better Relations With Regulators
Binance's latest hire comes as an attempt to forge better relations with regulators. Earlier last year, the company had a string of warnings issued against it from regulatory bodies and other entities all across the world.
"I am thrilled to join Binance.US and have been impressed by the significant, purposeful steps the company has taken in recent months to bolster its legal and compliance efforts,” Juvvadi said in the announcement release.
