Top SchoolPaolo Mazzocchi is a co-founder and COO with 12 years of experience building auditable, insurance-backed bitcoin custody solutions for institutions and HNW clients through CheckSig, blending product leadership with hands-on operational and financial oversight. He leads R&D and education at the Digital Gold Institute and Crypto Asset Lab, translating cryptography, monetary theory and game theory into practical custody and teaching programs. Trained as a mathematical engineer at Politecnico di Milano, he brings deep quantitative finance roots from Deloitte—where he worked on interest-rate derivatives and clearing—into crypto-native product design.
