Hiring amid tough market conditions

The high-profile hires (and appointment) come as the crypto market navigates a tough crypto winter that has many companies slowing or freezing hiring. Others have drastically cut their headcounts amid brutal market conditions.

However, a few are taking this as an opportunity to build and thus going on with strategic addition to their staff.

For Trust Machines, the key hires add to the recent hiring of Aubrey Strobel (communications advisor) and Rena Shah (head of operations and strategy)
