<p>Binance.US has promoted its president Brian Shroder to CEO after the <a href="https://www.theblockcrypto.com/linked/113825/brian-brooks-resigns-as-ceo-of-crypto-exchange-binanceus">sudden exit</a> of Brian Brooks two months ago.</p> <p>The firm said Shroder would be moving from his role as President, which he began in September, to CEO in an <a href="https://blog.binance.us/binance-us-names-brian-shroder-ceo/">announcement</a> today. Shroder first took up the mantle as president following the departure of CEO and ex- U.S. Comptroller of the Currency Brian Brooks. Shroder was <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/shroder/">previously</a> head of business development at Ant Group, and before that the Asia-Pacific Head of Strategy and Business Development for Uber. </p> <p>Binance.US' announcement also revealed that chief financial officer Joshua Sroge would be leaving the company and subsequently replaced by Eric Segal as Interim CFO. Sroge had initially been <a href="https://www.theblockcrypto.com/post/113960/binanceus-picks-cfo-to-helm-exchange-after-abrupt-brian-brooks-exit">selected</a> by the Binance.US board to take over in the immediate aftermath of Brooks' departure. </p> <p>The firm will continue to search for a permanent CFO with executive search firm Russel Reynolds Associates. Binance.US said it's conducting a search for "a new CFO with experience in initial public offerings."</p> <p>"Strategic differences" over the path to an IPO reportedly led to Brooks' departure. Part of those plans included a bid to raise $100 million from venture capital investors. Those plans are still ongoing, despite some concerns from certain investors that Binance.US is too closely affiliated with Binance. </p>
