Perhaps the most exciting appointment is that of Seed Hash, Seed CX’s settlement subsidiary. Its new public director is Julie Myers-Wood, who is currently CEO of investigative and compliance consulting firm Guidepost Solutions.
Myers-Wood has an array of political experience, having worked as a federal prosecutor and headed up a division of the Department of Commerce. Most notably, she headed up the much maligned US Immigration and Customs Enforcement – otherwise known as ICE. She has also worked as a Special Assistant to the President of the US and as a Chief of Staff in the US Department of Justice.
