Fortitude has appointed Jaime Leverton, the former chief executive officer of Hut 8, to lead the Zcash-focused mining company as it expands its operations and prepares for a planned public listing, Cointelegraph reported. Leverton will take over leadership while Fortitude works to develop its business ahead of the listing process. The company’s focus on Zcash links the appointment to the mining activity surrounding ZEC, the network’s native cryptocurrency. The move places an experienced crypto-mining executive at the head of Fortitude during a period of operational expansion and corporate development. No further details on the timing or structure of the planned listing were provided in the source material.
