# Founding Team & Governance - SwissChain Holding SA ## Founding Team The founding team of SwissChain Holding SA combines long-term experience in digital assets, strategic advisory, fintech operations and traditional business scaling and exits, while maintaining a deliberately low public profile and limiting detailed personal biographical information in external communications. At the corporate level, SwissChain Holding SA provides full transparency on ownership, governance and financial structures to institutional investors under NDA, as documented in the Articles of Association, the Shareholders' Agreement and the Participation Certificate Holders Agreement. ### Andrew Reistad - Co-Founder, SwissChain Holding SA Andrew is a Swiss-based entrepreneur focused on digital capital markets, with over 14 years of experience in cryptocurrency markets, quantitative trading and liquidity management for institutional counterparties. At SwissChain Holding SA, he leads market structure, risk management and the design of institutional-grade trading and treasury frameworks across the Moonkey ecosystem. ### Frédéric Pignolo - Co-Founder, SwissChain Holding SA Frédéric is an entrepreneur and strategic advisor in the Swiss digital asset ecosystem. He has supported family offices, entrepreneurs and private investors in defining digital-asset strategies, product concepts and long-term positioning. At SwissChain Holding SA, he focuses on group vision, business development and ecosystem partnerships (banks, technology providers, advisors), ensuring that the Moonkey platform is aligned with market needs and that the organisation remains commercially driven and execution-oriented. ### Loïc Giacomini - Co-Founder, SwissChain Holding SA Loïc is a fintech operator specialised in digital finance operations and cross-border implementations in Europe. He has overseen large-scale deployment projects for multi-asset platforms integrating trading, custody and client onboarding for regulated players. Within SwissChain Holding SA, he is responsible for operational execution, platform deployment and coordination between Moonkey-branded operating entities and technology/banking partners. ### Georges Polliand - Co-Founder, SwissChain Holding SA Georges Polliand is an experienced Swiss entrepreneur with a proven track record of scaling and exiting operating businesses. He founded and developed a chain of fitness and wellness centres in Switzerland, growing the organisation to approximately 80-100 full-time employees before successfully exiting the business in a transaction valued in excess of CHF 10 million. At SwissChain Holding SA, Georges brings hands-on experience in organisation building, operational discipline and shareholder value creation, complementing the digital-asset and fintech expertise of the other co-founders with a strong background in scaling real-economy businesses. ## Operating Model & Governance Approach The founding team has historically bootstrapped its activities without external capital and is now transitioning to an institutional phase where scale is achieved through an asset-light, partner-driven model: regulated banks for custody and payments, external auditors and legal counsel for structuring, and a network of specialist vendors for technology and security. This approach anchors SwissChain's growth in partnerships rather than in building a capital-intensive full-stack crypto bank from scratch, and is reflected in the governance framework set out in the Shareholders' Agreement and the Participation Certificate Holders Agreement. **Note on disclosure policy.** Given the nature of the digital asset industry, the founders choose to limit detailed personal disclosures in public documents, while ensuring that all relevant corporate information (ownership, governance, financials) is fully accessible to professional investors under appropriate confidentiality arrangements (NDA, data-room access). This balance between personal privacy and corporate transparency is a deliberate feature of SwissChain's governance model and not a lack of substance or track record.
