Who led Binance to become the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange (in terms of volume) in just 3 years? In addition to the well-known CZ and Ho Yi, what other executives and what is their organizational structure? What is the difference between huobi and Huobi, which has just disclosed its organizational structure?
In fact, Binance's organizational structure has never been fully disclosed to the public, Wu said that the blockchain according to public data statistics and insider research, sorted out a relatively accurate and clear Binance high-level power organizational structure, if you need to check the omissions and fill in the gaps, welcome to leave a message to propose amendments.
Zhao Changpeng: CEO of Binance, founder of Binance, manages all businesses, focuses on products, technology and internal affairs, graduated from McGill University in Montreal, Canada, majoring in computer science, and has served as the head of bloomberg futures research and development and the head of OKCoin technology.
He Yi: Served as Binance CMO, managing brand market, user growth and key account work, participating in strategic decision-making as a co-founder, and served as a travel TV host, OKCoin market leader, and vice president of technology.
Ted Lin: Chief Growth Officer, responsible for international business, graduated from Cornell University with a master's degree in computer science, and later worked for ASUS and several Taiwanese companies.
Wei Zhou: Chief Financial Officer (CFO), graduated from Harvard University, worked in the investment banking department of Goldman Sachs in Hong Kong, and later held senior executive positions in Zhaopin Recruitment, Excellence Games, and Kunlun Wanwei.
GIN CHAO: Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) in charge of investment and legal departments, has worked for Sovereign Wealth Fund Corporation, Deutsche Bank, PwC and other companies, and graduated from Carnegie Mellon University.
Samuel Lim: Chief Compliance Officer, responsible for Binance's stablecoin, security, crime fighting, anti-money laundering, business compliance, regulatory communications, and more.
Helen Hai: Head of Philanthropy at Binance, Executive Dean of Binance China Blockchain Research Institute, graduated from the University of London, has many years of experience in philanthropy around the world, and has served as a member of the United Nations Business and Sustainability Organizing Committee.
Wu said that blockchain believes that Binance's organizational structure has the following characteristics:
First, Zhao Changpeng is a top-level manager. But Zhao Changpeng and He Yi are the only leaders who can sign the founders to the outside world. He Yi is the second person in Binance after Zhao Changpeng and participates in the formulation of the company's strategic decisions.
Second, binance group has at least seven executives at its core level (including CZ and He Yi), and there may be several who have not been disclosed. At present, only He Yi is a Chinese national, but all of them, including Zhao Changpeng, are of Chinese descent. It can be said that Binance is a company led by Chinese americans.
Third, due to the wide range of Binance business, advocating distributed office and decentralized management, the specific business level has become relatively loose, and there may be many omissions in statistics. First of all, it should include the heads of horizontal and regional areas; secondly, it should include the heads of vertical and various business lines.
(Binance's internal management style, please refer to the article "About @CoinMarketCap, CZ has something to say": http://suo.im/65PEyn)
As Binance acquired a number of companies, the heads of those companies also became the heads of certain business lines. Wu said that blockchain only lists the larger ones, in addition to Jet, Swipe, travelbybit and so on.
Fourth, it is worth noting that Binance currently does not have a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) or Chief Product Officer (CPO), but each business line has its own technical leader and product owner. Since CZ is a CTO, it may be up to him to focus on the technical part of the work.
Comparing with the high-level organizational structure of Huobi, we will find some similarities and differences, refer to "Exclusive: Former Ali Executive Zhu Ye Served as Huobi's New CTO Huobi Executives First Exposure"
1: Architecture features, compared with Huobi, what is the highest level of CMO at Binance, which may be the reason why Binance's market work is relatively diversified and the proportion of investment is larger. At the same time, Huobi has a COO and the head of the exchange business, these two positions Binance does not have, so compared with Li Lin, CZ will be more hands-on in management.
2: In the key business part, the two major exchanges have set up a person in charge of the contract and the mining pool, which also shows the current focus of these two major businesses within the exchange, especially the contract derivatives, which is extremely important. In addition, the charity leaders are in a higher position, indicating that the exchange attaches great importance to public welfare PR due to its regulatory particularity.
3: The internationalization part, it can be clearly seen from the senior management structure that Huobi focuses on the Japanese and Korean markets, and Binance focuses on the United States, Europe, Russia and other markets, and there is a certain degree of differentiated competition. In addition, the vast majority of Huobi executives are Chinese executives, and Binance is only one person, which may form a natural obstacle to Huobi's international promotion and Binance's Chinese promotion.
