He is a Founding Director of the Bitcoin Foundation and his career has included senior influential posts at VISA International, VeriSign, Sumitomo Bank, and Hushmail.

Jon has consistently led the charge on integrating blockchain and financial services, a passion he shares with BlockEx. His help in developing BlockEx's relationships with other important figures in the cryptosphere has also been invaluable. As BlockEx enters into this exciting stage, spreading its reach and launching its ICO, Jon Matonis can offer his vital knowledge and relationships.
