As former general counsel and chief compliance officer for Circle Internet Financial, a global crypto finance company, John Beccia knows all about the uncertain legal and regulatory worlds of cryptocurrency. I really enjoyed being a general counsel, but we’re at a really unique moment in time in financial services. Speaking of change, how are you finding the transition from general counsel to CEO? When you’re a general counsel at a FinTech company or a smaller startup, you learn quickly that you have to be nimble and really understand all the facets of the organization. The other thing is, in FinTech, more than in any other space, outside counsel doesn’t have all the answers.
