Tiffani McCoy has worked in-house at some of Silicon Valley's largest companies, in a variety of legal roles.

Now, she's headed to a general counsel role at HBUS, a digital currency marketplace that opened in June, and is the  U.S. partner of Singapore-based cryptocurrency exchange Huobi. In her new role, she'll be reporting to HBUS chief executive officer Frank Fu.

“I wanted to be involved with starting a smaller company and moving it onto that level of success and in particular I wanted to be challenged, challenged to learn something incredibly new,” McCoy said.
