Digital asset protection firm Coincover has appointed Vikki Sly as its new chief people officer in order to boost its commitment to building a healthy scaling business.
With a background in designing and implementing successful internal cultures, Sly will play an integral role in building a business culture that prioritises its people. She will oversee the development of the firm’s internal structure, collaboration processes, and learning opportunities, and will work closely with the executive team to ensure that employees are empowered to deliver the highest level of service to customers.
Sly has held various several senior leadership roles, such as vice president of people at Bitrise, where she led its people operations and talent acquisition efforts and chief people officer at Blue Prism, where she oversaw its global HR strategy and was responsible for driving employee engagement and retention. She also spent several years as the vice president of talent development at Qlik, as well as holding roles at Barclaycard and Vodafone.
Sly said: “We’re seeing a lot of behaviours in the market where businesses have grown aggressively and failed to address the challenge of scale as they’ve grown. They are now going through an unfortunate situation where people are being laid off. I am committed to building a culture that pays attention to the current organisation and positively impacts the existing infrastructure.”
David Janczewski, chief executive officer of Coincover, added: “We are thrilled to welcome Vikki to our team. Her extensive experience and passion for building and shaping people-centred cultures will be instrumental in helping us achieve our mission to make cryptocurrency accessible and secure for everyone.”
