To continue strengthening its leadership team in key positions, Bitso – the leading financial services company powered by crypto in Latin America– has appointed Aimee Fearon  as its new Chief Financial Officer (CFO). 

“I’m thrilled to join the dynamic crypto industry at a company like Bitso, which has been a key leader across  Latin America for the past 10 years. Bitso's mission to make crypto useful resonates deeply with me, and I’m  excited to contribute to this next chapter of development, helping to drive its continued success and furthering  its impact in the region and beyond,” said Fearon. 

Throughout her career, Fearon has accelerated company growth by driving value creation, raising capital, and building strong teams and alliances with strategic investors. Aimee was most recently CFO of  Wealthsimple, a financial services platform in Canada, and worked at PricewaterhouseCoopers, Newsela, and OnDeck Capital, which went public during her tenure. 

Commenting on the appointment, Bitso CEO and co-founder Daniel Vogel said: “I’m excited to collaborate with Aimee and the rest of the executive team. Her extensive experience will be instrumental in helping us  achieve our mission and objectives. Her expertise in finance and managing both emerging and publicly traded  companies has given her a strategic vision that will be crucial for Bitso’s present and future success.” 

With more than 8 million customers in its Retail unit and 1,700 institutional clients transacting through Bitso  Business, the company aims to accelerate its growth with Aimee’s leadership in this pivotal role. 

“I’m confident that in this new role, alongside the world-class Bitso team, we can continue to push boundaries  and achieve remarkable results. Together, we’ll ensure that the company remains at the forefront of innovation,  delivering on its vision and impacting our customers’ financial lives,” Fearon added.
