Jeff Li, VP of Product at Binance, shared:
“Throughout my career, my primary motivation has always been to create innovative products that both excite and benefit people. This passion made joining Binance a natural choice for me. I am deeply impressed by how Binance has been able to build an extensive blockchain ecosystem in seven short years while upholding a user-focused philosophy in all that it does. With global crypto adoption still below 10 percent, I recognize that there is still much to be done to achieve Binance’s vision of increasing the freedom of money globally. And, I am eager to be part of Binance’s exceptionally talented team to help the industry grow, discover new use cases, and benefit more users worldwide.”
Jeff added:
“Blockchain, combined with emerging technologies like AI, has the potential to significantly improve financial access and transform our daily lives. As an industry leader, Binance is uniquely positioned to unlock this potential and demonstrate its benefits to users. We aim to do that by continuing to build industry-first products that are easily understandable and accessible for both new and experienced users, making everyday applications of crypto and Web3 more seamless.”
