Circle — a global financial technology firm that provides payments and treasury infrastructure for internet businesses — announced recently that finance veteran Jeremy Fox-Geen will join the company as its Chief Financial Officer. He is going to lead the company’s finance and treasury organizations, and work closely with the company’s leadership team in scaling out the company globally.
Circle said it is seizing a pivotal moment in its trajectory by continuing to scale and invest in the people and technology that will drive 10x growth in the coming years. And the company’s increasing demand for strategic financial and operating decisions provides an opportunity to bring on a new CFO to play a leading role in this expansion.
Fox-Geen brings over 2 decades of experience as a strategist, operator, and financial executive who supported and led world-class companies in the financial services industry. And he previously held Chief Financial Officer positions at iStar and Safehold, and at McKinsey & Co., North America.
He started his career as an investment banker at UK-based firms Flemings and Rothschild. And then he moved to McKinsey & Company where he was a leader in the corporate finance and financial services practices, rejoining as CFO for North America after tenures at PwC and Citi. Fox-Geen is a graduate of Oxford, holding an MA in Mathematics and Philosophy.
Last month, Circle had announced the addition of Dante Disparte as the company’s first Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Global Policy. And Disparte will be spearheading a global public policy agenda that advances Circle’s commitment to building a more open and inclusive global financial system with public blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies.
KEY QUOTES:
“I am delighted to welcome Jeremy Fox-Geen as Circle’s new Chief Financial Officer. He brings exceptional skills, intelligence and alignment with Circle’s core mission and values and he is an exceptional leader and strategic thinker.”

“To join this company at this moment is an incredibly exciting opportunity.

Circle is very well placed to play a leading role in this transformation as the trusted partner for business and governments worldwide.”
— Jeremy Fox-Geen
