The Winklevoss brothers’ cryptocurrency exchange Gemini has employed Noah Perlman, a former executive at monetary services giant Morgan Stanley, as its new chief compliance officer.

Per an official announcement printed by Tyler Winklevoss on Sept. 4, Perlman joined Gemini after 13 years at Morgan Stanley, wherever he worked as global head of economic crimes and global head of special investigations.

Legal and compliance background

The announcement states that Perlman had “firm-wide, legal and compliance responsibility for the governance, oversight, and execution of the firm’s anti-money washing, sanctions, anti-boycott, anti-corruption, and government and political activities programs.”

According to Perlman’s profile on professional social network LinkedIn, before joining Morgan Stanley he worked as an Assistant U.S. attorney at the U.S. attorney office of the eastern District of new York and as a division counsel at the Drug enforcement Administration.

Building its presence

In mid-August, Gemini employed cybersecurity professional David Damato as its new chief security officer. Damato antecedently created and led a cybersecurity team at security services firm Tanium.

That same month, claiming that the stablecoin represents a step towards mass adoption of cryptocurrency, Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss said they're open to partnering with archrival Mark Zuckerberg on Libra.

In June, Gemini opened offices in Chicago that may serve as an engineering hub to support commerce and custody operations.
