Ripple CEO
About Brad Garlinghouse
In 2015, Brad Garlinghouse took the helm at Ripple amid widespread skepticism about blockchain’s enterprise viability, and made a pivotal, counterintuitive bet: that banks wouldn’t adopt crypto as currency, but as infrastructure. He steered the company away from speculative token promotion toward building regulated, interoperable payment rails, securing partnerships with over 600 financial institutions, including Santander and SBI Remit, and co-authoring the first U.S. federal guidance on digital asset custody with the OCC. His insistence on compliance-first innovation reshaped how legacy finance engages with distributed ledger technology, not as disruption for its own sake, but as operational leverage for real-time settlement, FX optimization, and liquidity efficiency. Garlinghouse’s leadership is defined less by technical evangelism than by pragmatic translation: turning cryptographic primitives into auditable, scalable, bank-grade services that move actual capital across borders in seconds, not days.
