<p>Grant’s appointment follows the first-ever <a href="https://crypto.news/binance-establishes-first-board-of-directors-yet-to-name-hq/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">assembly</a> of a Binance Board of Directors, in line with terms agreed with the U.S. Justice Department. The crypto exchange has not selected a headquarters yet, but it revealed a seven-member board earlier this month.</p>
<p>Per crypto.news, the board includes CEO Richard Teng, who took over from founder Changpeng Zhao after he resigned late last year at the climax of a multi-year U.S. crackdown.</p>
<p>Also included on the board are top-ranking executives like Heina Chen, Jinkai He, and founding member Lilai Wang. Bayview Acquisition Corp. CEO Xin Wang, and Arnaud Ventura, managing partner at Gojo &amp; CO., were named as two of three external figures.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Former Barbados’ ambassador to the UAE, Gabriel Abed, will chair the board and oversee general operations while reporting to authorities as part of a <a href="https://crypto.news/binance-under-fire-prosecutors-eye-5-year-oversight/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">monitoring program</a> that may last up to five years.&nbsp;</p>
