The new hire arrives at a critical time for Huobi, which features a broad portfolio of crypto products and offerings, as it increases its efforts for global expansion on multiple fronts.

Sharlyn Wu, Huobi’s Chief Investment Officer, said: "Alex has one of the sharpest minds in crypto. Not only does he understand the macro impact of DeFi and crypto, he's also able to drill down into the specifics of different projects."
"Sharlyn and I have known each other for years, and I have always regarded her as one of the most long term, visionary crypto thinkers in China. That's why I was excited when I heard that she was joining Huobi, which is one of the most important companies in crypto," said Alex Pack, Huobi's new Corporate Investment Advisor.
