At that time, Mintzberg will also become a member of Grayscale's Board of Directors. Mintzberg takes over from Michael Sonnenshein, who has decided to step down to pursue other opportunities. During the transition, Edward McGee, Grayscale's Chief Financial Officer, will perform the duties of the most senior executive charged with leading the company.
Mintzberg has over two decades of experience at top asset management firms worldwide and has a notable track record as an executive focused on growth and leadership in the C-suite.
"Peter is an exceptional leader with a strategic vision and international experience at major asset management firms, both of which are crucial as we prepare Grayscale for further growth," said Barry Silbert, Founder and CEO of DCG. "I look forward to witnessing the successes he will achieve with Grayscale as the company continues to expand its innovative investment products."
