Jason Thompson, the former CEO of Partior, is no longer with the firm. Singapore-based Partior is the multi currency blockchain payments network formed in 2021 as a joint venture between JP Morgan, DBS Bank and Singapore government investment firm Temasek. Standard Chartered invested in late 2022. Its tokenized deposit network evolved from Singapore’s Project Ubin work that explored central bank digital currencies (CBDC). Partior doesn’t currently use CBDC.
Sources close to the firm confirmed the CEO’s departure after we spotted his disappearance from the website earlier this month, and Thompson has now updated his LinkedIn profile. So far, there’s been no announcement regarding the replacement, although the same sources said a new CEO has been chosen.
Prior to joining Partior, Thompson spent a decade at payment firms, including several years at fast-moving Grab Financial and as CEO of Grab-owned Indonesian payment firm OVO. The startup entered unicorn valuation territory under Thompson’s leadership. Notably, he didn’t previously work at any banks.
