The cryptocurrency firm is expanding its board with a 30-year veteran of Credit Suisse.
Bitcoin Suisse is appointing Giles Keating to its board, effective May 1, the company said in a statement on Friday. Previously the head of Credit Suisse's research department, Keating is to help position Bitcoin Suisse as a partner for global institutional investors.
Keating left the Swiss bank in 2016 to co-found Werthstein, a robo adviser. The venture folded last year after it failed to win enough clients.
