Ripple seems to be growing in all directions, be its popularity as the top five cryptocurrencies in the world or providing solidarity to its infrastructure innovation team. To ensure that Ripple continues to progress in the right direction, the digital currency recently roped in the highly experienced Zoe Cruz as one of its Board of Directors.

Cruz served as the co-president for wealth management and institutional securities for two years before leaving Morgan Stanley in 2007.
