Two of the new Coinbase directors have previously served under US presidents, while the other has extensive experience in the management consulting industry.
Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has bolstered its board of directors with three new appointments, including a senior OpenAI executive who served as a political strategist to United States President Bill Clinton in the 1990s.
In a July 25 statement, Coinbase said it had appointed Chris Lehane as one of 10 directors on its board.
Lehane served as Clinton’s Democrat strategist in 1992, shortly before Clinton began his two-term tenure as US President between 1993 and 2001.
