Bitfrost announced that it has selected Alfred Moeckli as
its new Chairman of the Board.
According to an official press release shared with Finance Magnates,
Alfred Moeckli, an executive veteran with more than twenty years of
experience from the Financial industry, has been chosen by Bitfrost, a fintech ecosystem,
to be its new Chairman of the Board.
Moeckli plans to continue with the course that Bitfrost is
on and will create a seamless integration of crypto and banking services.
Further, he intends to concentrate on enhancing the banking component based on
the best Swiss practices as well as experience.
As a former Chairman of Coinify,
Moeckli played an important role in the sale of Coinify to Voyager in its $85
million deal in the summer of 2021.

A Glance at Moeckli’s Vocational Past
Prior to Bitfrost recruiting him, VP Bank AG secured Moeckli as
the Group CEO. For almost six years, he successfully served the Group until
January 2019.
Before VP Bank AG, he served bank zeiplus ag from mid-2008
until February 2013. Originally, he joined the bank as a Board Member, and
after two and a half years he received a promotion to CEO. During his
leadership, the market capitalisation of the VP Bank doubled.
Falcon Private Bank Ltd acquired his skills and experience
as a Deputy Chief Executive Officer. For just over two years, he was positioned
as Head of Institutional and Treasury.
In July 2004, he was the Chairman of Tradejet Ltd, an online
brokerage. Over the course of six years, he fulfilled all requirements of the
role.
The earliest known position that Moeckli worked in was the
CEO of Swissquote
Bank. He joined the online financial institution in July 1999 and completed
the necessary duties.
Unique Expertise of Strategic Transformation Processes
Commenting on the announcement, Anton Chashchin, the Managing
Partner of Bitfrost, said, “We are very pleased to have Alfred as incoming
Chairman, considering his global banking experience and outstanding history of
leadership. I look forward to working closely with Alfred, and I am confident
that his profound knowledge of the financial industry and his unique expertise
of strategic transformation processes will drive Bitfrost forward.”
“I am excited to take on the role of Chairman for this
ambitious organisation. I believe Bitfrost is in a position to provide
significant changes to the financial industry due to an effective and scalable
business model and talented management team. I plan to see that potential
realized,” says Moeckli.

global institutional crypto over-the-counter and lending provider. As a result,
