Cryptocurrency exchange Gopax announced on July 27 that it has appointed Kim Na-young, the former head of financial business development at Amazon Web Services (AWS) Korea, as its new CEO.
Kim holds an MBA from Harvard Business School and is a certified international financial analyst. She previously served as the country head for Bloomberg in South Korea and most recently was a member of the Korea Investment Corporation's operating committee, where she oversaw risk-related deliberations.
With this appointment, Gopax aims to expedite the resolution of the long-standing repayment issues related to its GoFi service. The company also plans to enhance communication with financial authorities to normalize its operations.
A Gopax representative stated, "At a time when the integration of the cryptocurrency market into the regulatory framework is accelerating, we believe Kim is the ideal person to lead Gopax's fundamental restructuring, given her expertise in both traditional finance and IT technology."
Kim emphasized, "Resolving the GoFi repayment issues and normalizing operations are my top priorities. I will focus all efforts on addressing the outstanding issues faced by GoFi customers first."
