From 2018 to 2020, Brooks served as chief legal officer of Coinbase Global, Inc. And from 2014 to 2018, he served as as general counsel of Fannie Mae, a $3.2 trillion asset public company that is the world’s largest investor in single-family and multifamily mortgage assets.
At Bitfury, Brooks will “lead the 10-year-old crypto unicorn as it launches a new funding round,” among other priorities, the company said in a press release. Bitfury may be considering going public, according to various reports.
