Ripple Hires Former Facebook Exec. As SVP Following ‘Big Leadership Changes’

Ripple just confirmed two major changes to its leadership team-one was a “Rippler” already, while the other came from Facebook.

As Ripple is still trying to become the world giant, several changes are required to happen if the company wishes to survive. In the past year, the company has shown its capability to adapt and directly impact public view.

If you have taken notice, you would have seen how Ripple is trying to move away from the currency it developed, XRP. At first, it was an open-source project spearheaded by Alexavier Guzman, a Senior Software Engineer at Forbes. Ripple swiftly went on board and publicly supported this concept. Just recently, it even tweeted an image giving details about the difference between the two.

The new change is also integrated into its leadership team. Ripple initially confirmed its newest Senior Vice President of Business and Corporate Development, Kahina Van Dyke.

Kahina Van Dyke was not the only executive extraordinaire Ripple called on board its leadership team. Ripple’s Chief Cryptographer, David Schwartz was appointed Chief Technology Officer (CTO) on the same day.
