Portofino Technologies Faces Fresh Wave of Senior Departures as CFO and General Counsel Exit at Crypto Market Maker

COINOTAG News, citing CoinDesk, reports that Portofino Technologies, a Swiss crypto market maker, has endured another wave of senior resignations following earlier exits by its CFO and General Counsel. The sources say Chief Revenue Officer Melchior de Villeneuve has also departed, with anonymity requested as the matter involves private information. The development underscores ongoing leadership churn within the firm.

Additional confirmations show Office Operations Manager Olivia Thurman has resigned. Alleged departures include two senior developers, Olivier Ravanas and Mike Tryhorn, plus two junior developers. LinkedIn records place de Villeneuve’s tenure starting in January, and Ravanas and Tryhorn did not respond to requests for comment. Portofino has not publicly commented and had not returned multiple inquiry emails at the time of publication. The changes come as crypto market makers navigate tighter liquidity and regulatory scrutiny.
