An Impressive Career
Zamboglou brings about 18 years of industry experience to his new role at BlockFills.

He also worked at the Moscow offices of the Libertex Group as the Head of Market Risk and was promoted to the Chief Risk Officer after a year. However, he only spent a year and five months in that company. He even founded and operated the now-closed Zebrafx, which was focused on the Chinese market.
His exposure to the blockchain industry includes roles as an Advisor for companies like ThePower.io, Blockpass, Non-Zero Blockchain Software, and Genesis Vision. He also served as the Chief Operating Officer at BABB for almost a year and the European CEO of crypto exchange Lykke for another couple of years.
