• Respected industry figure Jason Tucker-Feltham has joined Zumo as Head of Sales.
• Amidst surging institutional interest in the digital assets sector, Tucker-Feltham will help financial institutions to leverage Zumo’s award-winning infrastructure to create sustainable, compliant propositions for their customers.

Edinburgh, Wednesday 21 February 2024 – Zumo, the B2B digital assets infrastructure that prioritizes sustainability, has announced the appointment of Jason Tucker-Feltham as the company’s new Head of Sales.

Tucker-Feltham is an experienced crypto sales, business development and capital introduction professional. Prior to joining Zumo, he worked in business development and European sales at Celsius, covering some of the largest institutional clients in the crypto space, and in advisory compliance at UniCredit, where he lobbied for proportionate MiCA regulation on behalf of the entire banking group.

He is an active member of the international crypto community and a regular speaker at conferences around the world. Before entering the world of crypto, Tucker-Feltham spent over a decade working at global investment banks, including Deutsche Bank. He holds the Financial Risk Manager (FRM®) certification from the Global Association of Risk Professionals (GARP).

Nick Jones, Founder and CEO, Zumo said: “Jason has a rich background in financial services and deep expertise in EMEA institutional sales in the crypto sphere. He is also passionate about digital assets and their potential to transform the financial industry – and wider society – making him a great fit for our team.”

“Jason will lead our sales push at a pivotal time for our growing industry, helping us to work with financial institutions keen to create new digital asset propositions whilst protecting their customers and the environment.”

Jason Tucker-Feltham, Head of Sales, Zumo added: “Last year, the UK’s crypto industry was caught off guard when the FCA introduced new rules for financial promotions. Some industry participants even chose to exit the market due to these changes. However, there are ways to navigate the UK crypto market while staying compliant. By teaming up with Zumo, no one needs to miss out.”

“Zumo offers a range of elegant solutions that open up new crypto business possibilities, including our compliant route to accessing the UK crypto market. I’m thrilled to be joining an award-winning firm that enables our clients to capitalise on the endless opportunities arising from the fast-growing digital assets sector.”

Zumo is a digital-asset-as-a-service platform, and the market’s only full-stack infrastructure. It enables financial institutions to launch digital asset propositions engineered with a focus on compliance and sustainability.

Last year, Zumo launched Oxygen, the first of its kind – a full solution for financial institutions to measure, mitigate and report on the carbon footprint of digital currencies in line with evolving regulations and investor expectations.

Zumo was also the first digital asset platform to integrate the tech-based requirements of the FCA’s financial promotions regime for cryptoassets, underscoring its unwavering commitment to setting the highest standards in regulatory alignment and consumer protections.
