Before that, she oversaw regional collaborations at Offchain Labs, assisting with the network’s initial growth and integrating several developers and initiatives around Asia.
Nina Rong, Executive Director of Growth at BNB Chain, said: “I’m honoured to join the mission to onboard the next billion users to web3. BNB Chain has the scale, community, and technology to empower builders to make liquidity truly accessible to everyone. I am eager to work with our partners and ecosystem contributors to strengthen our position as the home for both crypto-native and TradFi assets.’’
Roles and responsibilities
In her new position, Rong will be in charge of the three main pillars of BNB Chain’s growth plan. That is drawing elite builders and partners to the network.
Additionally, programs that assist developers through grants, education, tooling, and community engagement are being expanded. And expanding BNB Chain’s presence in important developing regions.
Changpeng Zhao (CZ), core contributor at BNB Chain, said: “BNB Chain is entering a new chapter of growth, and I am looking forward to welcoming Nina to the team. Under her leadership, BNB Chain is doubling down on the commitment to make liquidity discovery more accessible for the next billion web3 users.”
Rong has an MBA from Peking University and an engineering degree from the University of Waterloo. Her hiring is a reflection of BNB Chain’s ongoing commitment to long-term ecosystem growth as the network pushes the boundaries of consumer apps, infrastructure, and on-chain banking.
With a worldwide user and developer community, BNB Chain is one of the biggest and busiest blockchain ecosystems in the world. This is a very important and crucial role to take on, especially when you have a huge reputation to hold on to or good examples to follow, but how the new leadership turns out is yet to be seen. For now, the community praises and welcomes her as she takes on the chair of growth leader.
