Summary
Polymarket has hired former Amazon CFO Warren Jenson as its first chief financial officer, putting him in charge of finance, capital strategy and long-term planning. The hire comes as Polymarket looks to scale its CFTC-regulated U.S. exchange while continuing to grow its prediction market business globally. Polymarket, which gained mainstream attention during the 2024 U.S. election, has since expanded further into areas such as sports as it looks to reach a broader group of traders. Jenson will report to Polymarket founder and CEO Shayne Coplan, who called him a “true legend” in a post on X, and will oversee the company’s finance organization, financial and capital strategy and long-term planning, the company said on Thursday.
