After months of legal strife for DCG, the company is getting a new chief legal officer.
The appointment comes after months of legal strife for DCG. The firm's subsidiary Genesis filed for bankruptcy protection in January 2023 following the collapse of the crypto exchange FTX. DCG, Genesis, and Genesis' creditor Gemini reached an agreement in February of the same year, with DCG agreeing to deliver recoveries of up to 90% to Genesis creditors in August 2023, The Block previously reported.
Killeen previously served as the Chief Legal Officer of the software and payments development firm Billtrust. Killeen will join the company on May 1, augmenting DCG’s multinational legal operations, merger and acquisitions, compliance and governance as a new executive leadership team member, according to a DCG company release.
“We are pleased to welcome Aimie to DCG’s leadership team as we execute on our growth plans while we continue to navigate the industry’s evolving legal landscape,” DCG Founder and CEO Barry Silbert said in a statement. “With her extensive experience and global insight, Aimie will be an invaluable partner in supporting our strategic objectives to drive our business forward.”
Before serving as Billtrust's Chief Legal Officer for over a year, Killeen was a senior associate at the Australian law firm Ashurst for nine years. She then went on to become global general counsel for DirectCash, a financial services firm, and executive vice president of CardTronics, an ATM manufacturer and financial services firm that acquired DirectCashPayments.
"I am honored to join DCG during a transformative era in finance and technology as the industry continues to gain momentum,” Killeen said in a statement. “DCG holds an impressive leadership role in the digital assets sector and I am eager to support the company’s growth plans as we accelerate the development of decentralized technology to advance society globally.”Disclaimer: The Block is an independent media outlet that delivers news, research, and data.
