Securitize, the tokenization platform that went public via SPAC merger just last month, is stacking its boardroom with traditional finance heavyweights. The company announced on July 14 that Rebecca Macieira-Kaufmann and Manolo Sánchez have joined its Board of Directors.

Who’s joining the table

Macieira-Kaufmann’s resume reads like a tour of American banking’s upper floors. She held leadership positions at both Citigroup and Wells Fargo, two of the largest financial institutions on the planet.

Sánchez has been serving on the company’s advisory board since 2019, which means he’s watched this thing evolve from a scrappy tokenization startup into a publicly traded company with over $4 billion in assets under management. His prior role as CEO of BBVA Compass, where he oversaw roughly $100 billion in assets, gives him a perspective on scale that few in the digital asset world can match.
