The planned leadership succession and enhanced product organisation underscore Wyden’s strategic commitment to supporting regulated financial institutions at scale.
Zurich/Switzerland – Wyden, the leader in institutional digital asset trading technology, today announced a series of executive appointments that strengthen the company’s Product, Technology and Operations leadership as it scales its platform to meet growing institutional demand.
Jérôme Kehrli Joins Wyden as Chief Technology Officer
Wyden has appointed Jérôme Kehrli as Chief Technology Officer. Jérôme brings nearly 25 years of software engineering and technology leadership experience within the financial services industry and the tech sectors, including senior roles at Morgan Stanley and Crédit Agricole, and most recently as CTO and Group Chief Innovation Officer at NetGuardians (now Vyntra), a Swiss AI-driven fintech serving the banking sector.
He will lead Wyden’s Technology organisation and drive the continued development of the Wyden Infinity platform. Rémy Schimmel Maillet-Contoz, CEO of Wyden, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Jérôme to Wyden. He brings the ideal combination of tier-one banking and fintech experience that our institutional clients and partners’ demand. His appointment supports our commitment to accelerating digital asset adoption among regulated financial institutions, and his deep understanding of how these organisations operate will be invaluable as we continue to scale.”
Jérôme Kehrli added: “Banks and brokers operating in regulated digital asset markets require infrastructure that meets institutional standards for performance, compliance, and operational continuity Wyden Infinity is built to those requirements, and there is a clear and growing need for European markets and beyond. My focus will be on ensuring the platform and the engineering organization scale in step with that client demand.”
Bartosz Wójcik Transitions to Head of Architecture
Bartosz Wójcik, who has served as Chief Technology Officer since 2019 and has been instrumental in building the engineering foundation that underpins Wyden’s platform today, will transition to the role Head of Architecture, where he will focus on long-term platform development and technical strategy. His expertise and institutional knowledge will continue to be a valuable asset to the firm.
Renato Cricca Appointed Head of Product
Wyden has appointed Renato Cricca as Head of Product.

Executive Appointments Aligned with Rising Institutional Demand
These appointments come as Wyden continues to grow its client base, with banks and brokers across Europe and beyond relying on Wyden’s end-to-end digital asset trading and orchestration technology. Wyden is executing against a clear strategic roadmap – deepening institutional client relationships and expanding into regulated markets where demand for bank-grade digital asset infrastructure continues to grow.
