DUBAI, United Arab Emirates,
Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/
-- CV VC invests in the most promising blockchain startups
worldwide and operates both an incubation program for young
companies as well as its own ecosystem, including events and
co-working spaces in Zug, Vaduz
and Dubai. Together with its
Advisory Board, CV VC works to drive internationalization and
expand its global network.
Ahmed Bin Sulayem currently
serves as Chairman of the Dubai Diamond Exchange (DDE) and the
Dubai Gold & Commodities Exchange (DGCX). He has broad
experience in the commodities sector and in-depth knowledge of the
MENA region. In his role as Executive Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC), Ahmed Bin Sulayem is responsible for the world's
leading free zone with over 18,000 member companies employing over
60,000 persons. The DMCC was named "Global Free Zone of the Year"
by The Financial Times' fDi Magazine, for a record-breaking sixth
consecutive year.
Ahmed Bin Sulayem said: "I am
honoured to join the CV VC Advisory Board which represents a
special group of forward-thinking and talented individuals.
Courageous and ambitious, Dubai is
a destination for pioneers and those motivated by new discovery. It
will be my task, alongside fellow CV VC board members, to grow the
thriving Blockchain ecosystem in Dubai by connecting it with other
internationally leading technology centers. DMCC represents a real
gateway of opportunity with its Crypto Centre, and ties with the CV
VC organisation, being critical to its digital future."
The second new member of the CV VC Advisory Board is
Jan Werner. The Swiss investor and
entrepreneur looks back on a successful international career. For
almost 9 years he served as CFO and Board Member of Team Marketing.
Its commercial partnership with UEFA has been the driving force
behind the phenomenal growth of the UEFA Champions League for more
than 25 years.
Jan Werner on his new role in the
CV VC Advisory Board: "New technologies have always interested me,
and Blockchain excites me. I am convinced that Distributed Ledger
Technology is about to trigger a technological revolution like the
Internet did 30 years ago. The Crypto Valley in Switzerland with its progressive regulation,
over 900 registered companies and 4700 jobs is the most important
Blockchain location in the world and at the vanguard of this
revolution. At CV VC, I want to contribute to its success."
However, it is not only the Advisory Board of CV VC that
consists of distinguished personalities. So does its Board of
Directors, which includes former Swiss President and Minister of
Economics Johann N. Schneider-Ammann
and Anne Berner, former Finnish
Minister of Transport and Communications. CV VC is chaired by
Alex Wassmer, CEO and President of
Kibag AG.
"With Ahmed Bin Sulayem and
Jan Werner, our Advisory Board is
growing by two additional high-profile members who will actively
support us with their expertise and experience as we chart our
course of growth and internationalization, which I am very happy
about," says Ralf Glabischnig, Founder and Board Member of CV
VC.
