CFO Jimmy Patronis: Ken Lawson Named Cryptocurrency Advisor

Posted on August 2, 2018

In a continued effort to bring clarity to cryptocurrency in Florida, Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Jimmy Patronis named Ken Lawson, president and CEO of VISIT FLORIDA, as cryptocurrency advisor. In this role, he will lead efforts to identity a cryptocurrency chief and collaborate with stakeholders to ensure innovation and economic development are at the forefront while getting ahead of potential fraud. Lawson will work with CFO Patronis’ law enforcement team, regulatory entities, existing cryptocurrencies, and business stakeholders.

CFO Jimmy Patronis said, “Ken’s experience in both the private and public sectors, his investigatory work to protect our financial system, and work to drive economic growth in Florida, makes him a tremendous asset to the cryptocurrency space. Considering the Seminole County Tax Collector now accepts Bitcoin as a form of payment, two of Florida’s major metro areas are in the top 10 cities in the world that are cryptocurrency friendly, and Florida being a top target for consumer fraud, we need someone who has both the business and investigative experience to provide the needed guidance on our efforts to bring oversight to the industry. Ken is that individual and I know he will take every action possible to protect Floridians while making Florida the leader for emerging digital asset technology and innovative ideas.”

Ken Lawson added, “I’m thrilled to take on this advisory role to help bring transparency to cryptocurrency in Florida. In this role, I’ll be assisting the CFO in his efforts to ensure accountability and oversight for this important industry in Florida. Outside of my full-time role at VISIT FLORIDA, I’m excited about working with CFO Patronis to accomplish his goal of protecting Floridians from criminals who seek to use new technology to scam people and allowing innovation to flourish in our state.”
