Brane Named Among 2021 Best Workplaces in Financial Services and Insurance

Ottawa, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 13, 2021) - Brane Inc. ("Brane"), a leading independent cryptocurrency custody solutions provider, has been recognized as one of the 2021 Best Workplaces in Financial Services and Insurance by Great Place to Work® .

The annual list is based on independent analysis and direct feedback from employees at hundreds of organizations surveyed by Great Place to Work®. Brane was previously recognized as a Great Place to Work- Certified™ based on employee responses to the Great Place to Work® Trust Index Survey, which evaluates workplaces on a range of values including internal communication, respect, fairness, pride, and camaraderie.

"We're thrilled to receive this recognition for our efforts to build and maintain an industry-leading company culture where all talent feels supported, appreciated, and inspired to achieve great things," said Kirsten G. Paquette, Brane's Vice President of People and Culture. "While we're proud of those efforts, we know our work is far from done. We need to always stay focused on building trust and respect in our workplace, and lead the way in advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion."

Brane's team has grown approximately five-fold since January 2021, reflecting the growth of its technology licensing business as the company pursues market opportunities and regulatory licensing in multiple jurisdictions.

"I couldn't be prouder of this high-performing team that brings together the most talented people from technology, finance, business development, and public policy to build a world-leading custody institution for the new asset class," said Jerome Dwight, Brane's President and the former CEO of Bank of New York Mellon's Canadian operations. "If you're looking for an exciting, supportive workplace united by a purpose to secure the world's transition to blockchain - Brane is the place to be."
