Coinbase international policy VP Tom Duff Gordon departs for OpenAI to lead EMEA policy

Tom Duff Gordon, Coinbase's VP of international policy for nearly four years, is leaving the exchange to head up EMEA policy at OpenAI. Duff Gordon previously spent time at Credit Suisse overseeing EU and UK government relations before joining Coinbase's regulatory push. The move is the latest example of AI companies aggressively poaching crypto-native policy talent as they brace for incoming regulation across Europe and beyond — and another signal that the revolving door between crypto and AI leadership keeps spinning faster.
