Binance, the world’s leading blockchain ecosystem and cryptocurrency exchange, today announced that it has tapped GE and Edelman veteran, Patrick Hillmann, as the organization’s Chief Communications Officer. Hillmann will lead Binance’s global communications and public affairs division as it continues to grow, evolve, and usher the industry into a new era as a critical pillar of the global economy.

Binance has experienced a rapid growth rate in the past four years. While we are transforming from a disruptive tech startup into a well-respected global financial institution we realized that it was crucial that we hire top communications and compliance experts. Patrick has a proven record of helping to reposition large brands in highly-regulated industries. This sets him apart.”
Yi He, Binance co-founder.

Serving as Binance’s first Chief Communications Officer, Hillmann will oversee every aspect of the organization’s corporate communications, public affairs, media relations and stakeholder engagement efforts. Hillmann’s purview will also include working alongside Binance’s compliance and security leaders as the organization coordinates with global regulators.

Changpeng Zhao, Binance CEO (CZ), stated:

We are working together with regulators all over the globe to achieve our common goal: protecting users, encouraging innovation, and further developing the industry. Patrick’s 15 years of global regulatory experience, including GDPR, will help us advance that work.
Before joining Binance, Hillmann was the Global Head of Innovation on Edelman’s crisis and risk practice, where he spearheaded the firm’s cybersecurity and counter disinformation offerings. Patrick previously held high-ranking public and government relations positions before Edelman. General Electric (NYSE:) & the National Association of Manufacturers. At GE and NAM, Patrick led those organizations’ advocacy efforts in response to countless global policy issues.

Binance offers a unique opportunity for me to use my experiences to help an organization that truly is changing the world. The potential for this industry’s growth in collaboration with regulators around the world is almost impossible to predict today.
Hillman.

This follows the recent appointments to Binance’s global compliance team, Chief Regulatory Liaison Officer Mark McGinness who formerly served as Head of International Relations at the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) and Global Money Laundering Reporting Officer (GMLRO) Greg Monahan, a former U.S. Treasury Criminal Investigator, among many others.
