NEW YORK, Sept. 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Gemini Trust Company, LLC (Gemini), a cryptocurrency exchange and custodian, announced today that Noah Perlman has joined as its new Chief Compliance Officer. Perlman will lead Gemini's Compliance Program and be responsible for its Anti-Money Laundering (AML), Market Surveillance, and other similar programs. Perlman will begin with Gemini in October.

Prior to joining Gemini, Perlman served as the Global Head of Financial Crimes at Morgan Stanley, a global financial services firm that provides investment banking, securities, and investment management services.
