Our CFO: Irina Berkon

Irina is Platio’s Chief Financial Officer and a proven finance, accounting and compliance leader with 15 years of progressive hands-on experience in corporate finance.

Born in Russia, Irina emigrated to the U.S. at the age of 14. Adjusting quickly to the change of culture, she excelled at school and university and obtained her CPA license, the accounting world’s highest standard of competence. In addition to Russia and the USA, Irina has lived in Mexico and Australia. “Travelling is my life,” she says.

Having spent most of her career in the Silicon Valley, Irina has deep expertise in the fintech, software and digital industries. Irina leads Platio in achieving robust financial management and compliance.

For Irina, “Platio is at the brink of solving major cryptocurrency issues,” and she is “excited to be the pioneers of this movement.

“Cryptocurrency can bring opportunities to people that otherwise would not have them. It is agnostic to countries and borders. If we can ensure that cryptocurrency is only used for legitimate purposes, the benefits are endless.”

You can meet Irina at the World Blockchain Forum in London next week as she officially kicks off Platio’s international roadshow.
