Welcome to the 4th issue of The Eye of the Storm!
Another two weeks have stormed by, and we haven't been any less busy! What do we have in store for you today? Well, you'll just have to keep on reading... Seriously, make sure you do because we have an exciting opportunity for you to get your hands on some StormX merch! 😉
The past few months have been a whirlwind for all at StormX; one notable achievement that most of you will be very aware of is that we became the exclusive blockchain sponsors of the Portland Trail Blazers, raised over $15m in additional funding and now, we’re giving credit where credit is due to some of the core members of our team.
We’re excited to announce that in line with planning the expansion of our team, and actively hiring new talent, some members of staff will be stepping into new roles within the company.
You might have known him as our Head of Marketing, he was also pivotal in putting in the long hours to solidify the partnership with the Trail Blazers, thus it is with great pleasure that we announce Matthew Chuen will now be assuming the role of Chief Marketing Officer. Since joining the team last year, Matthew’s commitment and creativity has helped StormX’s rapid expansion and of course, further its global brand awareness. We expect Matthew’s dedication to the team and the company to help make StormX the only name that comes to mind when you think of Cashback and crypto.
We also celebrate Alex Hidalgo as he steps into his new role as Chief Product Officer. Since joining the team back in 2018 as a Fullstack Developer, Alex has shown his willingness to drive success across multiple vertices within the company. The product pipeline is looking busy, however with the recent hire of a new Lead Product Manager, Alex will be able to put all his focus on product strategy as we incorporate our upcoming releases such as debit card integration and our future governance token.
"Having worked with Alex and Matt for a while; I can say without doubt that they're not only hardworking, but have helped us evolve our company to the next level, consistently. We always aimed to promote within the company, and to grow our team based on merit. These are much deserved titles, and I'm looking forward to what the future holds." - Simon Yu, CEO & Co-Founder
