7 Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google Staffers That Went Full Crypto

We found examples of staff from five giants of Web 2.0, the so-called FANGs: Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Netflix and Google.

Prior to his current job he worked at Facebook, and a little before that he worked at Google.

"I've worked on backend infrastructure at Google, so I know how to build distributed systems. I understand security and privacy of large scale projects to make sure users are in the best interest of the overall system."

He left Apple in June after working there nearly three years.

Feinberg serves as Director of Business Development at the exchange, OKCoin, though he first left Google to join a security startup aimed at blockchain startups called Petram Security.

So OKCoin is actually his second crypto role since Google.

Feinberg started at Google in 2011, serving in a number of roles on the business side before leaving in March, working at the time on Google Search and Google Assistant.

"I thought to myself, 'The people with whom I share a similar world view outside of Google are doing much better financially than the people with whom I do not at Google, so let's see where this takes me.'".

He left Google X division in mid-2017, where he had been working as a product manager on Project Loon, which aims to connect remote areas to the internet with balloons.

He said, "One lesson we have brought from Google that has been really helpful in building CoinTracker is focusing on users to build very simple and intuitive products."
