We're adding a new board member: Anthony Armstrong, who will also join our Audit Committee.
Anthony brings one of the most distinctive resumes we could ask for at this moment. Deep traditional finance background, direct experience in frontier technology companies, and time spent driving efficiency in how the government operates. That combination matters for Coinbase right now.
His career doesn't follow a straight line, and that's what makes it interesting. Anthony spent nearly a decade at Morgan Stanley building and leading one of the most active global technology M&A practices on Wall Street, ultimately serving as Vice Chairman of Investment Banking. He then joined the Department of Government Efficiency as a Senior Advisor in the Executive Office of the President, working on how large, complex institutions can do more with less. Most recently, he served as CFO across Elon Musk's companies, including xAI, X.AI Corp., and X Corp., where he led the financial operations of some of the most closely watched technology companies in the world.
Anthony has had a consistent focus on building things that work at scale, without waste. Efficient execution is one of our core operating principles, and Anthony has lived that standard across some of the most demanding environments in finance, government, and technology. At Coinbase, we have a bias for action. We complete high-quality work quickly. We focus on the 20% of work that will make 80% of the impact, and it’s why Anthony is such a great fit.
Coinbase has one of the best Boards in the game, but today, we're making it even stronger with another powerhouse addition.
Please note: Anthony Armstrong has no relation to Brian Armstrong.
