BCB Group Appoints New CEO

BCB Group, the leading provider of business accounts and trading services for the digital asset economy, today announces the appointment of Oliver Tonkin as CEO, with immediate effect. He will succeed Oliver von Landsberg-Sadie who will be leaving the organisation to pursue new opportunities.

Under the entrepreneurial stewardship of Oliver von Landsberg-Sadie, the firm secured the largest Series A funding for a company in the UK blockchain industry, and he has since established BCB Group as the cornerstone of the global crypto industry.

Oliver Tonkin is set to further elevate BCB Group’s standing as the premier multi-jurisdictional regulated provider of payment, trading and custody services to the digital asset industry.

As co-founder, former deputy CEO and General Counsel of BCB Group, Oliver Tonkin is ideally placed to lead the business moving forward. Tonkin’s appointment is a reflection of BCB’s evolution within an increasingly maturing industry as the firm prepares for continued global growth and expansion.

Having qualified at a leading city law firm and managing a successful boutique investment advisory firm for over ten years, Oliver’s extensive experience within the financial services sector compliments BCB Group’s core mission to provide its clients with critical, secure and responsive infrastructure.
