“# Elissa Shevinsky joins Cointelegraph as chief technology<\/a> officer <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Cointelegraph, the world\u2019s foremost blockchain-focused media<\/a> platform, is pleased to announce that tech veteran Elissa Beth Shevinsky has joined the company as chief technology officer.<\/p>\n

Shevinsky began her Bitcoin (BTC) journey in 2013, selling shirts for BTC as part of a fundraising campaign for her encrypted messaging startup, Glimpse, but her career in software began earlier \u2014 as employee number 33 at Everyday Health, which went public in 2014. <\/p>\n

More recently, she served as head of product at Brave and CEO of Soho Token Labs, where she led a security audit of the 0x project, a decentralized exchange, among other projects.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m incredibly excited to join Cointelegraph, one of the oldest and most prominent brands in crypto media,” said Shevinsky. “This is a fantastic opportunity for us to experiment and innovate on the product side, and to build things for people who genuinely care about cryptocurrency and crypto culture.” <\/p>\n

“The team here is smart and fun, and they\u2019ve given me such a warm welcome. I\u2019ve known Jay Cassano since 2014, and I feel fortunate to work with someone with his vision for how to build, and run, a healthy and profitable media company. I hope to live up to the potential and possibilities that come with this role.”<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had the privilege of knowing Elissa for several years and could not be happ<\/a>ier that she is joining the Cointelegraph family,\u201d said Cointelegraph CEO Jay Cassano. “She brings a wealth of experience in encryption, blockchain and consumer-facing products.”<\/p>\n

Shevinsky has been funded by the Mach37 Cybersecurity Accelerator and Techstars London during the course of her tech career. She has also served as a mentor for the Thiel Foundation\u2019s fellowship program, where she read Vitalik Buterin\u2019s early proposal for Ethereum, and she is an advisor to The Graph.<\/p>\n

In reviewing her 2015 book on gender equality in the tech industry, Lean Out<\/em>, the Los Angeles Times said, \u201cEveryone who hires or manages anyone in tech ought to read the remarkable book Lean Out<\/em>. If tech companies are unwelcoming places, to hell with them.\u201d<\/p>\n
