Jess Renden has recently taken on the role of CEO at Cointree after joining the local fintech five years ago. She’s been active in Fintech for the last 17 years including a successful career at software firm BGL.

Alongside founder Shane Stevenson, Jess has scaled Cointree to now handle more than A$250 million in cryptocurrency transactions and has helped more than 100,000 Australian investors access the world of crypto.

With Jess at the helm, Cointree plans to make it easier for people to buy and sell cryptocurrencies, and increase awareness of blockchain technology and its many benefits as the crypto exchange heads towards 10 years in business.
