HBUS raids Intuit (again) for landmark appointment

HBUS, the exclusive US strategic partner of digital currency marketplace, Huobi, has announced the appointment of Tiffani McCoy as General Counsel.

“Tiffani has helped scale some of the largest technology companies in Silicon Valley, defining complex legal and regulatory guidelines,” says Frank Fu, CEO of HBUS.

“Her insight and experience with new and innovative technologies will be a major asset for HBUS as we gear up to become one of the top digital currency marketplaces in the United States.”

McCoy is the first African-American woman to step into the General Counsel role at a digital currency marketplace. She was previously the Assistant General Counsel at Intuit. Before that, she held leadership positions at Google and Yahoo!.

“Blockchain and digital currency offer some of the most innovative technological and financial opportunities for global evolution,” comments McCoy.

“In order for that to happen and for more people to benefit from this wave of innovation, it is critical for us to diversify the voices and participants in this industry. I am excited to join the HBUS team and be a leading voice in initiatives to drive conscious leadership and increased diversity.”

Chief Compliance Officer

Earlier this month, we reported that HBUS had appointed Megan Monroe-Coleman as Chief Compliance Officer.

Monroe-Coleman previously served as MTL Compliance Officer at Intuit, following the acquisition of Mint, where she was also a compliance officer. In her new role, she’ll be directly responsible for US compliance functions and implementing a framework for regulatory compliance and risk.

Before Intuit, Monroe-Coleman spent over seven years at PricewaterhouseCoopers, leaving the company as a Director. At Intuit, she developed and implemented the AML compliance programmes for Mint and led the money transmission licensing strategy for Intuit’s regulated payments products. She has also held roles at Barclays Bank and Deloitte.
