Mark Jennings, Daniel Slutzkin, and Vijay Selvam Join Senior Team to Lead Gemini’s Growth in the Region London – Gemini, the leading cryptocurrency platform, has unveiled three strategic leadership appointments to drive its ambitious expansion across Europe in 2025. Mark Jennings joins as Head of Europe, Daniel Slutzkin as Head of UK, and Vijay Selvam assumes the role of General Counsel, International. These appointments, alongside the recent addition of Claudio Bedino as Head of Consumer Growth, Europe, mark a significant step in Gemini’s mission to strengthen its foothold in the region. Experienced Leadership to Navigate a Transformative Era Mark Jennings brings extensive expertise from his tenure at Kraken, where he served as CEO of Crypto Facilities, an FCA-authorized crypto derivatives platform. His leadership was instrumental in developing innovative strategies to meet the demands of a global client base. Previously, Mark played a key role in Kraken’s European operations and has held senior positions at TPICAP, Credit Suisse, and Citi, where he focused on scalable growth strategies for institutional clients. Reflecting on his new role, Mark said, “The regulatory frameworks in the EU and UK, including MiCA and the FCA’s forthcoming crypto roadmap, signal a new era of sustainable growth for digital assets. Joining Gemini at this transformative time is a unique opportunity to shape the future of the crypto industry in Europe.” Daniel Slutzkin steps in as Head of UK, following his success as Country Manager for Stake in the UK. At Stake, Daniel spearheaded growth initiatives in US-listed equities and ETFs, navigating the UK’s complex regulatory environment to enhance operations. His ability to guide businesses through rigorous authorisation processes will be crucial as Gemini expands its offerings for both retail and institutional clients in the UK and beyond. Vijay Selvam transitions to General Counsel, International, having previously served as Gemini’s General Counsel for APAC. With law degrees from Harvard and Oxford and a career spanning Goldman Sachs and Equonex, Vijay brings a wealth of legal expertise to his role. Based in London, he will focus on Gemini’s European licensing and regulatory strategy while upholding the platform’s high governance standards. A Commitment to Regulatory Excellence and Innovation Gemini’s expansion into Europe comes at a pivotal moment for the digital assets industry. The introduction of frameworks like MiCA in the EU and the FCA’s upcoming crypto roadmap in the UK are creating a foundation for sustainable growth and innovation. The newly appointed leaders share a vision for Gemini as a trusted, regulation-first platform that will shape the future of financial freedom across the region. “This is an exciting time for Gemini in Europe,” said Mark Jennings. “Our commitment to regulatory excellence and innovation will position us as a key player in unlocking the future of digital assets for individuals and institutions alike.” Gemini’s Strategic Vision for Europe As the company scales its presence across Europe, the combined expertise of Mark, Daniel, Vijay, and Claudio will be pivotal in executing Gemini’s vision. Their leadership will drive operations, foster partnerships, and strengthen regulatory relationships to ensure Gemini remains at the forefront of the crypto industry.
