Former White House Official to Lead Ripple’s Policy and Government Division

Lauren Belive, who previously served as an official in the White House’s Office of Legislative Affairs and as the policy director for the United States House Committee on Rules, has joined a prominent cryptocurrency firm as its head of U.S. public policy and government.

In an announcement made on September 26, Belive shared on LinkedIn that she would be leading engagement efforts in Washington, D.C., and throughout the United States for her new role at Ripple. Before this, she gained valuable experience in similar positions at Softbank Group, Zoom, and Lyft, building on her government background.
