Over the past eight years, Mr. Reeves has held product leadership positions at Thesis, Inc., A3Ventures, LLC and BYND, leading digital transformation and the development of innovation projects for Google and other Fortune 500 technology companies. Prior to founding Fold, Mr. Reeves was the Head of Payments at Thesis, Inc. from May 2018 to September 2019, where he led the development and strategic direction of the Bitcoin venture studio’s innovative payment and financial technologies.
