Emerging Star

To the moon?

Congratulations to Binance.US CEO Catherine Coley '07, whom Fortune honored on its Fortune's 40 Under 40 list. Coley, the lone female chief of a major crypto exchange in an industry dominated by men, grew Binance.US’s user base by 82% in March 2020 alone. Said Fortune: “She has shepherded Binance.US through the American regulatory process in order to make the service available to customers in 38 states, listing more than 40 different cryptocurrencies — the most of any U.S. exchange.”

Coley, a former Morgan Stanley foreign exchange trader, also has been busy helping EHS students make career connections. She came to campus and spoke with students at last year’s CONNECT on Campus event about careers in finance. Inspired by her talk, Conrad Suppes ’20 reached out to her during his search for a May senior externship. Coley asked him to start the company’s first social-media tutorials on bitcoin and other virtual currency, and he produced a series of videos for TikTok and other channels. See his handiwork on his Suppes Media Group Youtube channel.
