“Jonathan has been a valued member of the Zodia Custody team for the last two years and we remain grateful for his deep expertise, dedication, and guidance during a period of high growth for the company,» a spokesperson for Zodia Custody said in emailed comments.

«While such transitions are part and parcel of business, our company is continuing to grow. In 2023 Zodia Custody had 97 employees. Today, we have grown to 140 employees globally and 2025 will see us deepen our presence in existing markets and expand into new jurisdictions,” the spokesperson added.
