Tigran Gambaryan, Binance's head of financial crime compliance, has left the company after four years to seek opportunities in the public or private sector. His departure follows a turbulent year, during which he was detained for eight months in Nigeria amidst allegations related to his role at Binance. Gambaryan expressed the need for new challenges and aims to continue his work in technology compliance. Since joining Binance in 2021, he built a team to align the exchange with U.S. and international enforcement standards, responding to numerous law enforcement requests. His exit reflects a broader trend of executive departures from Binance amid regulatory pressures, including that of founder Changpeng Zhao. Gambaryan’s experiences in Nigeria have shaped his perspective on compliance and enforcement in cryptocurrency, and he aims to leverage this in his future endeavors.
