Christine Sandler, former executive at the crypto division of asset manager Fidelity, has left the firm for a new position as general partner at crypto asset investment firm Walden Bridge Capital. Sandler announced the news via her LinkedIn. 

Sandler was at Fidelity for just over 3 years as the head of sales and marketing for its digital assets division. In an interview last year with The Block, Sandler shared that the crypto unit experienced 4x growth during 2020. 

"Our overall account growth was absolutely phenomenal," Sandler said at the time. "We saw participation across all segments. So whether it was corporations adopting it and putting assets on their balance sheet, or hedge funds beginning to approach this from a strategic perspective, registered investment advisors, family offices, ultra-high net worth individuals."

Sandler previously held positions at Coinbase as Director of International Sales and the New York Stock Exchange as Executive Vice President of Global Sales.
