Germán brings extensive experience in the Fintech space, with a proven record of leadership and successful execution of strategic investments. Joining Cloud9 from JPMorgan Chase & Co., Germán most recently served as Executive Director and leader of J.P. Morgan’s Corporate and Investment Bank (CIB) FinTech Team.   “We are pleased to welcome Germán to the Cloud9 team,” said Jerry Starr, Cloud9 CEO. “Germán joins Cloud9 at a critical time in our evolution as we continue to add customers, grow our service offerings and expand our market share. He brings a powerful network of potential technology partners with him, a strong track record of fostering growth at a number of Fintech companies, and valuable perspective as a former Fintech investor.”   During Germán’s time at J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. he was a key figure in managing the CIB Fintech agenda and was responsible for sourcing, structuring, executing and monitoring strategic investments.  He worked on investments in a number of areas including market infrastructure, communications, regulatory/compliance, cybersecurity and trade operations.   Prior to J.P.

Inc, where he was a member of the firm’s Financial Institutions practice.  Germán received his MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business and a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering from MIT.   “I am extremely impressed by the leadership and innovation at Cloud9 and I’m looking forward to playing an integral role in the next phase of the company’s growth,” said Germán Soto Sanchez, Head of Corporate Development at Cloud9 Technologies. “Cloud9 has caught the attention of the industry, and I look forward to contributing to a company that is using the cloud to transform voice trading, communication and collaboration across financial services enterprises.”   In April 2016, Cloud9 [announced the closing of an initial investment round](http://www.wsj.com/articles/j-p-morgan-may-cut-the-cord-for-traders-1460455200) from J.P.
