Nexo names Lorenzo Pellegrino as Chief Banking Officer

Digital assets platform Nexo has appointed Lorenzo Pellegrino as Chief Banking Officer (CBO), as disclosed to Finbold on July 31.

Pellegrino brings over 20 years of fintech experience to the position, including his tenure as CEO of Skrill and NETELLER, where he helped develop digital wallet services used by millions of users.

His background also includes leadership roles at Paysafe Group, a NYSE-listed company, giving him experience in high-growth markets and global compliance frameworks.

Role and vision for the future

In his new role, Pellegrino will oversee the expansion of Nexo’s infrastructure, including digital asset accounts, global payment rails, cross-border settlements, and the dual-mode Nexo Card. He will focus on developing strategic partnerships and scaling services across the digital asset ecosystem.

“After decades in the payments and digital wallet space, I’ve seen firsthand how difficult it is to bridge convenience with compliance, speed with stability,” said Lorenzo Pellegrino, Chief Banking Officer at Nexo. “What Nexo is doing — unifying digital assets with real-world financial utility — is exactly the kind of challenge I thrive on”, said the new CBO.

Pellegrino will lead the global expansion of the Nexo Card and related infrastructure, helping users access everyday utility from their digital assets while supporting the company’s wealth-building objectives. His experience in managing large-scale, cross-border financial platforms positions him to support Nexo’s growth across international markets.

“Lorenzo joins us not just with deep fintech credentials but with a vision that aligns perfectly with Nexo’s trajectory,” added Kosta Kantchev, co-founder of Nexo. “He’s built financial products that scale and last. That’s exactly what we’re doing — creating lasting value for our clients across every market we serve.”

As CBO, Pellegrino will also represent Nexo in discussions about traditional finance and crypto convergence, cross-border finance, and infrastructure development for next-generation wealth solutions.
