Is Bybit's CMO only 23 years old? Promotions in the crypto world are more absurd than air tokens! Recently, I came across a jaw-dropping piece of news — a certain Miss Claudia from Bybit, who has "rapidly been promoted to CMO at 23," directly overseeing global marketing for the exchange!
My reaction at the time: "Huh? Are promotions in the crypto world now determined by block confirmation speed?" You should know that a normal company's CMO is either a veteran who has been in the industry for many years or a resource-rich individual brought into the team, while this young lady's work experience is probably shorter than the holding period of a retail investor...
Of course, I'm not saying she lacks capability (what if she is the chosen one in marketing?), but the storyline of "being parachuted in as CMO right after graduation" is something even the most daring crypto media wouldn't dare to write. Thus, onlookers began to wildly speculate:
1️⃣ A well-connected person said: "Is there some undisclosed private transaction between Ben and her? After all, in the crypto world, 'special relationships' lead to rapid promotions, those in the know understand."
2️⃣ Cost-cutting said: "Is Bybit so broke that they can't even afford headhunting fees anymore? I recently heard that even the cleaning lady has to moonlight as a weekly report writer."
3️⃣ Beauty economy said: "Got it! Exchanges are now all about 'beauty is justice', is the next step going to be 'executive 101 talent shows'? Ben is always in the spotlight, Claudia is responsible for being gorgeous, and the users? Users just need to cheer!"
If you ask me, the crypto workplace is just this surreal, an intern in the morning can become a CMO by the afternoon, even Satoshi Nakamoto would have to revise the white paper overnight!
