Uniswap President Mary-Catherine Lader steps down after 4 years

Mary-Catherine Lader, president and chief operating officer of Uniswap Labs, has reportedly resigned after four years with the company.

According to a Bloomberg report on Tuesday, Lader will stay in an advisory role before moving on to her next venture. A spokesperson for Uniswap said the company “will continue to build on her contributions,” according to the report.

Lader was one of the early big names to leave traditional finance to work in crypto space. She joined Uniswap in 2021 from BlackRock, where she was a managing director and global head of Aladdin Sustainability, according to Bloomberg.

The Uniswap protocol, Ethereum’s largest decentralized trading platform, hasn’t named its next president. Founded by Hayden Adams in 2018, Uniswap remains one of the most important players in the crypto ecosystem.
