Carlos Domingo Becomes First CEO of Securitize

NEW YORK, April 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Securitize, a cloud based platform that enables clients to issue security tokens, announced today that, after successfully concluding the first closing of tokenized ICO fund SPiCE VC using the Securitize platform, Carlos Domingo, will become the first CEO of Securitize. In his new role, Domingo will continue to promote Securitize's capabilities with respect to providing services related to Security Token Offering (STO), so that companies, asset holders, or funds (hedge, venture capital or private equity) can benefit from  democratized access to raising funds and capital. Carlos will also remain as GP and member of the investment committee of SPiCE VC.

Securitize offers a flexible and robust back-end platform that seeks to facilitate investments in STOs by various types of potential investors and is of the view that STOs have the potential to enable greater liquidity and scale of the offering for an issuer.

"It's a tremendous opportunity to lead an amazing Securitize team through this fast-moving and incredibly dynamic business environment. It's now my sole focus to ensure the Securitize team has what they need to disrupt, redefine and democratize access to capital."

"Security tokens are rapidly transforming equity and the capital markets, because they afford the owner the most direct and liqud economic interest in a company. They also expedite the delivery of proceeds for investors," said Jamie Finn, president of Securitize. "Securitize has taken off very quickly since we launched earlier this year.  We believe that the Securitize platform has facilitated more STOs than anyone providing similar services, which necessitates dedicated leadership and Carlos' full focus. We are honored to have Carlos step into the CEO role."
