Jay Hao
Bio
- From Cointelegraph (3-2023):
"After receiving a Master of Science in electrical engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 1996, Jay Hao spent the following two decades in the semiconductor industry, developing a wide range of applications for multimedia processors and wireless communication systems. Hao was recognized as a successful leader with a wealth of experience in product management before making a switch to the blockchain industry in 2017.
He joined Hormones Live as its chairman, leading the company’s external communications program with a keen focus on the blockchain sector, supervising and guiding the operation team toward a successful app launch.
Hao then moved on to his current role as CEO of OKX, a cryptocurrency and derivatives exchange, where his belief in blockchain technology and obsession with the metaverse has already helped in introducing path-breaking innovations. He remains a vociferous supporter of Bitcoin and has stated that security, innovation and reliability are the three pillars of his growth strategy at OKX. From a mere 8% market share at the end of 2021, OKX later commanded a quarter of the Bitcoin derivatives market, scripting one of the most commendable recoveries in the crypto world in 2022.
Hao also serves as OKX’s chief customer service officer, ensuring that customer feedback is translated into vital development updates in OKX’s products and services. Under Hao’s leadership, OKX’s EVM- and IBC-compatible layer-1 blockchain network called OKX Chain crossed the milestone of 100 million wallets."
