Experience

  • CEO at Coinhouse
    Oct 2017 - Present · 8 yrs 10 mos

    Coinhouse is a MiCA-licensed crypto investment platform, based in Paris — and one of the first platforms in Europe to obtain the Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) licence from the AMF in 2026. In a market crowded with global exchanges built for volume, Coinhouse was built for something different: trust, expertise, and personalized service. We combine the breadth of a regulated broker — Bitcoin, Ethereum, and dozens of crypto assets and stablecoins — with the depth of a wealth management approach that global exchanges simply don't offer. What we do: We serve retail investors, high-net-worth individuals, and corporate clients with a full suite of regulated services: brokerage, custody, crypto asset management, payment solutions, and individualized investment advice. For enterprise customers, Coinhouse Solutions delivers the technical and transactional infrastructure to build and scale their web3 business. Over 100,000 clients trust Coinhouse as their gateway to crypto — not because we're the biggest, but because we're the most committed to doing it right. Why Coinhouse, not a global exchange? Because being regulated isn't just a checkbox — it's a promise. MiCA compliance means client asset protection, transparent operations, and a partner accountable under European law. Because personalized advice matters. And because navigating crypto with confidence requires more than a trading interface — it requires a team that knows your goals. What we believe: Blockchain and crypto will profoundly reshape banking, payments, and finance. Tokenization is coming. Web3 is being built now. And the companies that will carry this transformation forward are those that combine innovation with regulatory rigor — building the bridge between the crypto economy and the financial world as we know it. Coinhouse is that bridge.
