A C-suite executive has left Coinbase, the cryptocurrency exchange turned tech unicorn.
CoinDesk confirmed Tuesday that Jeremy Henrickson is no longer with the company, having departed on November 2.
Henrickson started with Coinbase in July 2016 and served as VP of product and engineering before becoming chief product officer in 2017, according to his LinkedIn.
"Jeremy's contributions to Coinbase over the past two years were invaluable," a Coinbase spokeswoman told CoinDesk.
"He helped to build our scrappy startup team into a high-functioning product and engineering organization-overseeing a 5x+ growth of the team."
"In guiding that part of the company's journey, Jeremy scaled up our ability to execute, set the vision for our product and engineering teams, and was an inspirational leader within the organization. Jeremy joins a prestigious group of Coinbase alumni who are all working to build a more open financial system."
According to the source, Henrickson culturally represented "The softer side of Coinbase."
Henrickson's exit comes amid a period of growth at the startup, which in recent months has seen it open a new office in New York City as part of a bid to expand its employee base.
At the same time, Coinbase has had some higher-level exits, including long-time executive Adam White and Hunter Merghart, its now-former head of trading.
Personnel changes aside, Coinbase is pushing ahead with its stated plan to continue listing new cryptocurrencies and digital assets on its exchange.
