Two new appointments bring a wide range of experience to the firm, having previously served at Blockchain.com and Coinbase, respectively.

Cowen Digital has made a string of new executive appointments to expand its institutional sales team, drawing talent from various digital asset businesses.

Among the new appoints is Jackie Rose, who joins Cowen Digital as director of institutional sales, bringing a range of experience in investor relations, private equity and investment banking to the firm.
