Ether Capital Corporation announced the appointment of Brian Mosoff as Chief Executive Officer and Stefan Coolican as President and Chief Financial Officer of the company, effective immediately. Mr. Mosoff and Mr. Coolican will also join Ether Capital's Board of Directors.
Brian Mosoff is an entrepreneur and angel investor focused on blockchain and cryptocurrencies. As an expert in web 3.0 technologies, decentralization and peer-to-peer models, he is an active member of the cryptocurrency community. Since early 2013 he has run a Toronto-based family office that invests in early stage projects such as Ethereum's 2014 crowdfunding. As Chief Executive Officer of Ether Capital, Mr. Mosoff will be responsible for the sourcing and evaluation of investment opportunities, engaging with the Ethereum community and growing the public profile of Ether Capital. Stefan Coolican was previously a Director in the investment banking group at Cormark Securities, where he spent ten years specializing in corporate finance and M&A advisory for a variety of sectors including technology, cleantech, industrials and media. Most recently, Stefan led Cormark's investment banking efforts in blockchain and cryptocurrency. As President and Chief Financial Officer of Ether Capital, Mr. Coolican will be responsible for the sourcing and evaluation of investment opportunities as well as the finance, operations and investor relations of the Company. This decision was made in consultation with Michael Conn, who concurrently resigned from his position as Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company. Scott Bartholomew has also resigned from his position as Chief Financial Officer but will remain with the Company for a period to ensure a smooth transition of responsibilities to Mr. Coolican.
