Goldman Sachs partner Roger Bartlett is leaving the investment bank to run global financial operations at Coinbase (COIN), according to a LinkedIn post from Bartlett.

“It’s time to embrace the cryptoeconomy,” wrote Bartlett, announcing the move after a 16-year run at Goldman, where he most recently led a team of about 2,500 as global co-head of operations for the bank’s global markets division.Coinbase has made no secret of its aggressive growth ambitions, saying in its earnings release Thursday night that it planned to spend $4.25 billion to $5.25 billion on tech/development, and general and administrative expenses this year. This includes a goal to hire 6,000 employees this year, largely for its technology and development teams.Financial News first reported Bartlett's move early Friday.
