Gallant Exchange Secures Bob Cavnar as its Chief Strategy Officer

Gallant Exchange announced this week that it has managed to secure Bob Cavnar, the former president of Mercantile Global Holdings, Inc., as its Chief Strategy Officer.

The appointment of Cavnar comes less than a month after the exchange named Rick Beaman, the former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Nasdaq Futures Exchange as its President.

Mercantile Global Holdings is the parent company of the San Juan Mercantile Exchange. Cavnar is a longstanding senior executive in both the energy and technology industries. He has more than three decades worth of experience in C-suite roles.

Commenting on his new role, Bob Cavnar, Chief Strategy Officer, Gallant Exchange said in the statement: “I am very pleased to join a dynamic, innovative company that combines the technology of digital assets with the excitement of global sports. We are bringing corporate best practices to the company as we build a singularly unique platform in the digital asset ecosystem.”

Gallant Exchange is a retail trading platform listing many sports-based cryptocurrencies. The platform was built to support the trading of Athlete Memorabilia Coins (AMCs) in addition to large digital assets. AMCs are minted on the ERC20 protocol and are available to trade on the exchange.

To head the exchange, Grunfeld left his position of strategic partnerships position at Apifiny after spending over a year there.
