Volvo and Linde Group veteran to lead Board of Directors

LONDON, Sep 26, 2018 - (Media OutReach) - Effective immediately, former Deputy CEO and Executive Vice President Volvo CE, Eberhard Wedekind, has been unanimously elected as the Chairman of the Dascoin Board. DasCoin is a blockchain based currency which is at the center of a revolutionary digital asset system.

Wedekind steps up from his role as a non-executive director after first joining DasCoin early last year.

DasCoin CEO and founder Michael Mathias said: "The election of Eberhard as Chairman begins a whole new chapter of growth for DasCoin. His long career of solid business success adds valued international oversight to our top-class Board. This is another significant step to establishing DasCoin as the international currency as trust. I'd also like to express my appreciation for the many contribution and passionate commitment of Anna Heijka, our former Chairman. Her sudden passing earlier this month came as a shock to everyone in our community and she is sorely missed by us all."

Wedekind will oversee DasCoin and help guide its rapid expansion. The currency is currently listed on five exchanges: CoinBene, IDAX, CoinFalcon, BTC-Alpha and EUBX.

Commenting on his appointment, Wedekind said: "I'm thrilled to be a part of the continuing success of DasCoin. I'm convinced it will revolutionize the way we pay for goods and services, whilst shaping our future relationship with money."

Wedekind spent more than 20 years at The Volvo Group and previously held leadership roles at The Linde Group, the world's largest industrial gas business. He holds a PhD. in business studies and an MSc. in computer science.
