Hut 8 Appoints Ex-Citigroup Leader Sean Glennan as CFO

As a seasoned researcher with a keen interest in the intersection of finance and technology, I find the appointment of Sean Glennan as the new CFO of Hut 8 Mining Corp. an intriguing development. With his impressive 13-year tenure at Citigroup Global Markets under his belt, where he was instrumental in advising on over $80 billion in M&A and capital markets activity within the power sector, it’s clear that Glennan brings a wealth of strategic, financial, and industry knowledge to the table.


Hut 8 Mining Corporation, a company specializing in Bitcoin mining and energy infrastructure, has revealed that they will be welcoming Sean Glennan into his new role as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) starting on August 21, 2024.

As a crypto investor, I’m sharing the news that Shenif Visram, currently managing the transition before Glennan assumes the role of CFO, has decided to step down due to personal family matters. However, he’s not leaving the firm entirely, which is reassuring for continuity and stability.

Sean Glennan moves to Hut 8 from Citigroup Global Markets, having held the position of Managing Director within their Investment Banking division’s International Energy Group.

As a seasoned crypto investor with a background spanning over a decade at Citigroup, I’ve been intimately involved in counseling over $80 billion worth of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and capital markets activity within the power sector. My extensive industry experience, marked by significant transactions and robust relationships, is something that Hut 8 firmly believes will be a critical catalyst for our future growth and strategic financial decisions.

As an analyst, I’m excited to share that I’m delighted about the addition of Sean Glennan to Hut 8. In our ongoing pursuit of our power-first strategy, Sean’s extensive strategic, financial, and capital markets expertise, coupled with his network of connections within the industry, will prove invaluable in guiding and materializing our future ambitions.
