  • Ripple-owned Metaco has seen most of its executives and marketing teams depart since being acquired by Ripple last year
  • Those who have left include Metaco’s CTO Angel Nunez, head of sales Craig Perrin, product marketing lead Mei Li Powell, and marketing officers Gene Peterson and Rahul Mudgal
  • Metaco is a crypto custody firm that Ripple acquired in 2022 to help build its institutional product offering

Recently, Ripple-owned cryptocurrency company Metaco has lost several key executives and marketing team members. This exodus of talent raises questions about the future direction of the company.

NEW: Ripple $XRP owned Metaco saw its CEO, CTO, and several key executives departure

Metaco’s Background

Metaco is a Swiss firm that provides security infrastructure for digital assets. It was acquired by Ripple last year to boost Ripple’s expansion into institutional crypto markets.

Key Departures

  • CTO Angel Nunez
  • Head of Sales Craig Perrin
  • Product Marketing Lead Mei Li Powell
  • Marketing Officers Gene Peterson and Rahul Mudgal

Nunez was Metaco’s CTO for over 4 years and helped build the company’s technical infrastructure. Perrin led sales efforts as Metaco grew its client base. Powell, Peterson, and Mudgal were crucial members of the marketing team.

Reasons for Departure Unclear

The reasons for this sudden departure of multiple executives and marketers are still unclear. Some speculate a change in company direction after the Ripple acquisition. Others believe it may be related to Ripple’s ongoing legal battles with the SEC.

Impact on Company’s Future

Losing key leaders and marketers could significantly impact Metaco’s future growth and direction. Replacing and retraining talent takes time and could stall progress. However, if the departures were related to a shift in strategy, it could also signal efforts to adapt to new goals and markets under Ripple.

Metaco will need to work quickly to replace lost talent and ensure clients continue to receive the support and service expected. The coming months will reveal whether Metaco can move past this exodus smoothly or if the loss of these team members will lead to larger struggles.
