Nexo, the leading digital assets wealth platform, is pleased to announce the appointment of Lorenzo Pellegrino as its Chief Banking Officer (CBO) — a move that reinforces Nexo’s mission to build a globally accessible platform for wealth creation and preservation through digital assets.
Pellegrino brings over two decades of fintech leadership to Nexo, most notably as CEO of Skrill and NETELLER, where he helped shape the digital wallet landscape and scaled trusted financial products used by millions. His tenure at Paysafe Group, a NYSE-listed company, reflects deep experience in navigating high-growth markets, building robust financial tools, and aligning innovation with global compliance.
At Nexo, Lorenzo will lead the expansion of the company’s industry-leading infrastructure, including digital asset accounts, global on- and off-ramps, cross-border settlements, and the pioneering dual-mode Nexo Card. He will focus on strengthening strategic partnerships and scaling core services across the digital asset ecosystem. His appointment marks a pivotal step in Nexo’s evolution into a full-spectrum digital finance partner for individuals and institutions.
“After decades in the payments and digital wallet space, I’ve seen firsthand how difficult it is to bridge convenience with compliance, speed with stability,” said Lorenzo Pellegrino, Chief Banking Officer at Nexo. “What Nexo is doing — unifying digital assets with real-world financial utility — is exactly the kind of challenge I thrive on”, Pellegrino said.
He will also oversee the global rollout of the Nexo Card and related infrastructure — helping users unlock everyday utility from their digital assets, while reinforcing the company’s broader wealth-building vision.
Pellegrino’s proven ability to lead large-scale, cross-border financial platforms makes him uniquely positioned to support Nexo’s continued growth across global markets.
“Lorenzo joins us not just with deep fintech credentials but with a vision that aligns perfectly with Nexo’s trajectory,” said Kosta Kantchev, co-founder of Nexo. “He’s built financial products that scale and last. That’s exactly what we’re doing — creating lasting value for our clients across every market we serve.”
As CBO, Lorenzo will also serve as a public voice for Nexo, contributing to the global dialogue on TradFi-crypto convergence, cross-border finance, and the infrastructure needed to support the next generation of wealth solutions.
