According to Blockworks, Polygon co-founder Sandeep Nailwal is now also the company's chief business officer. Nailwal will focus more on Polygon's zero-knowledge solutions, such as Polygon CDK, an open source software toolkit for developers to create second layers on Ethereum. In addition, two crypto-focused companies that have just completed fundraising have also appointed new leaders. Tokenized asset platform Centrifuge has added a chief operating officer and a product leader. Centrifuge's new COO Julia Merkey was formerly the chief financial officer of venture capital firm BlueYard Capital. The company also appointed Sonam Joshi, a former professional at UBS, Google, and Amazon, to lead its product department. Centrifuge currently has approximately $280 million in assets in its liquidity pool. In addition, Movement Labs raised funds in a $38 million Series A round of funding for the blockchain company led by PolyChain Capital. Now, Movement Labs welcomes Franck Cassez as its head of research. Cassez will help the startup bring Facebook's Move virtual machine to Ethereum.
