A big step forward for the network. With momentum building across global markets, payments, and institutional adoption, Solomon Tesfaye takes on the role of Chief Business Officer at Aptos Labs.
Tesfaye stated the following: “I’m honored to share that I’ve stepped into a new role as Chief Business Officer at Aptos Labs.
Since joining Aptos, I’ve been focused on building trusted relationships with institutions ready to explore the next frontier of finance. As Head of Capital Markets, I helped shape our financial services strategy—activating early partnerships and collaborating with some of the world’s leading players in fintech, payments, trading, and asset management.
Those early conversations have now become concrete commitments. Institutions are no longer asking if blockchain fits into their roadmap. They’re asking how fast they can implement it. The demand for scalable, secure infrastructure that meets the rigor of traditional markets is here.
This new role is about answering that call with clarity, urgency, and execution.
As Chief Business Officer, I’ll lead our efforts to scale strategic partnerships across capital markets, global payments, and enterprise systems—advancing our mission to power on-chain infrastructure and create lasting value across industries and borders.
The future has never been more clear. The Global Trading Engine is imminent.”
