Jeff Pollack, Former CFO of Cardano, Joins Blockchain-based Social-impact Project, Philcoin, as Chief Operating Officer

January 15, 2025

Philcoin, the world’s first peer-to-peer social impact project is happy to announce that. Jeff Pollack, former Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Cardano, has joined the team. Pollack’s appointment marks a significant milestone for Philcoin as it grows its global presence and focuses on social-impact initiatives through blockchain technology.

Pollack has more than 30 years of experience in finance and tech. He worked across multiple sectors, including investment trusts, investment banking, asset management, real estate, and private equity. A certified public accountant, Pollack began his career in auditing before moving on to senior leadership roles in some of the world’s largest financial institutions.

A highlight of his career was as the operating chief at the US subsidiary of one of the largest Japanese banks, Mizuho Securities. In this role, he was responsible for overseeing daily operations and managing risk. He also worked as the financial chief of the Americas for the Newedge Group, a multi-billion dollar, multi-asset broker, and one  of the largest derivatives companies.

I came out of retirement for the third and final time to join Philcoin because I believe they are going to really change the way giving happens, said Pollack. Philcoin’s commitment to leveraging blockchain technology to create tangible social impact is inspiring, and I am looking forward to working with them to build their latest project, PhilSocial, a peer-to-peer social impact project that rewards users for giving back.

As COO of Philcoin, Pollack will oversee the business operations, strategies and partnerships. His appointment comes at a pivotal time as the organization ramps up its efforts to launch its social-impact project which is a hybrid social media app that connects people with purpose.

Philcoin’s mission is rooted in the belief that blockchain and social media can be a force for good, empowering individuals and communities around the world through technology. By joining forces with Pollack, the project aims to strengthen its reach and continue its work to drive positive change.
