“As we grow beyond our cryptocurrency roots focused on a single use-case towards a development company model servicing multiple products and use-cases, all leveraging blockchain technology, we find that Chris brings a skillset required to take us to the next level,” Dan Wasyluk, Syscoin’s Team Manager said.

Chris will be developing Syscoin’s business identity, establishing profitable business models, growing the business through strategic partnerships. He will also be leading Syscoin’s investment efforts and financing rounds.

“We have grown so far and so fast that we must be disciplined in which opportunities we pursue and in what order, as there are MANY opportunities before us. Chris’s guidance and business acumen will keep that momentum going and ensure focus on the highest value concepts. His considerable experience shows he is a driven, dedicated business professional and we are grateful to have him on the team,” Dan added.

Syscoin offers near-zero financial transactions like bitcoin. Unlike other cryptocurrencies, Syscoin’s intrinsic value is derived from the decentralized services it provides directly on the blockchain. The blockchain powers all Syscoin services. It is a decentralized system of record hosted by a series of “nodes” on the Syscoin network. Syscoin trades under the symbol SYS in virtual currency exchanges.
