About Vasja Zupan
Vasja Zupan is the COO at Bitstamp, the EU’s first fully licensed digital currency exchange. Over the years, Vasja has forged a successful career in areas as diverse as cryptocurrency exchanges, digital currencies, operations, digital media strategy, product development, consultancy and turnaround management.
Prior to joining Bitstamp, Vasja’s consultancy activities included managing the turnaround of the distressed multinational, Kolektiva Group, for the German VC, Rebate Networks. He also helped develop a digital presence for major multinationals such as Studio Moderna (http://www.studio-moderna.com) and Gorenje Group (http://www.gorenjegroup.com). Before embarking on these projects, Vasja racked up international experience by taking the role of CPO at CentrSource SA, a Canadian ecommerce startup based in Toronto. The experience he gained as co-founder of Baltazar Labs, which was commissioned to build the first mobile and social media app for content on Jacques-Yves Cousteau, served him well during his years abroad.
Prior to this, Vasja spent 11 years at Central European Media Enterprises (http://cetv-net.com), the leading NASDAQ-listed CEE broadcaster, where he was the Joint Head of the Internet Division. During his time at CME, which included a 3-year stint in Prague, Vasja was responsible for all non-broadcasting operations. Under his supervision, CME built a series of leading regional news and TV content related websites in the Czech Republic, Croatia, Slovenia, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Romania and Ukraine by forming cross-cultural bridges to effectively promote cross-regional consolidation and collaboration in the group operations.
Vasja graduated from the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Ljubljana with a bachelor’s degree in engineering.
