Previous to this announcement, Gold-i has benefitted from Alvarez-Buylla in a couple of roles. His most recent post was Director of Operations, which he fulfilled for the last nine months. Prior to that promotion, the company utilised him as Head of Operations for approximately three years, according to his LinkedIn profile.
Earlier on, he spent more than six years at Eze Software Group with his last position as Associate Director. Additionally, he had taken on two other roles as Senior Business Consultant and Business Consultant in reverse order.
His earliest known job was at Tradar Ltd as an Implementation Analyst. It was an internship that progressed for sixteen months before he moved on.

Moreover, he spent most of his career with emapsite.com, close to eight years. First, he began in April 2013 as a Regional Account Manager. Then after close to three years, the company elevated him to Senior UK Sales Executive and Technical Account Manager. From there, he fulfilled the requirements of the role for a further five years.
Enhancing Our Client Service and Driving the Business Forwards
Commenting on the two appointments, Tom Higgins, the CEO of Gold-i said: “Congratulations to Mark on a much-deserved promotion. Mark truly embodies Gold-i’s core values and, since joining the firm in 2018, has played a major role in streamlining our processes, enhancing our client service and driving the business forwards. He will be an asset to the company as CCO, and I look forward to working closely with him as we continue to grow the business.”
Alvarez-Buylla described: “Gold-i had its most successful year last year, and we are in a strong position for further growth, especially with David on board as Senior Sales Consultant. With our focus this year on growing our Crypto SwitchTM 2.0 client base of fund managers and brokers, David is ideally placed to grow this segment of Gold-i’s business.”
Higgins contributed further by adding: “I’d also like to welcome David to the Gold-i team. David impressed us at the interview with his in-depth knowledge of the digital asset space and his proven track record working for SME businesses in B2B sales.”
“Joining Gold-i is a great career move for me, combining my interest in digital assets with my sales experience. I am very excited about entering a new sector. Gold-i is a pioneer in the digital assets space, and I really believe that digital assets are going to change the world, which is why I jumped at the opportunity to work at Gold-i,” Hillier stated.
