Crypto chief operating officer: 194 COOs at 191 teams, 3 steps

By NAUT Research · · 7 min read

194 Crypto COOs chief operating officers at 191 crypto project teams on NAUT, read 14 November 2026. Logos: AltLayer, Jupiter, Wormhole, Celestia, Pyth Network, BitGo, Helium, Ether.Fi, Starknet / Starkware, Jito, MegaETH, Chiliz.

To find the crypto chief operating officer at a company, search COO on NAUT's People tab, open the company page to see who else runs the team, then check the title against an outside source before you write. NAUT tracks 194 crypto COO contacts at 191 project teams, read on 14 November 2026: 161 have LinkedIn on file, 99 an X handle and 89 Telegram.

Data note. Every count was read from NAUT's own database on 14 November 2026, read-only. A person counts when their record and their company are live, the company is a NAUT project, and the current title is exactly COO or Chief Operating Officer. 264 records at 259 teams matched. 15 were dropped because their company has no public NAUT page. 2 were dropped because the stored name is a handle-like string. 2 were dropped because an outside source gives the person another title or names someone else in the seat (at Akash Network and Avalanche). 1 was dropped as a second record for the same name at ZkSync. 18 were dropped because their company has no description on NAUT, so its crypto business could not be read. 32 were dropped because their company's NAUT description names no crypto product. That leaves 194 at 191 teams. Written by the NAUT team.

How do you find the COO of a crypto company?

You find a crypto COO in 3 steps: the People tab, the company page, then an outside source.

  • The People tab says who. Search COO and NAUT returns people with that title and their company. 190 of the 194 carry the short title COO and 4 the full Chief Operating Officer, such as Meg Nakamura at Evernorth.
  • The company page says who sits beside them. Every project page lists its team with titles, so you can see whether the COO works next to a CEO, a BD lead or a head of operations. 3 teams carry 2 COOs each: Centrifuge, KAIO and Storm Trade.
  • The outside source says whether it is still true. Titles move with people. Of 12 COO records NAUT checked outside its own data, 2 were confirmed, 2 named another title or person and were dropped, and 8 had no outside page naming the person in the seat.

Crypto chief operating officer lookup worked on AltLayer

Here is the same lookup on 1 team, AltLayer, which NAUT describes as an execution and elastic scaling layer for blockchains.

  1. People tab. A search for COO returns Amrit Kumar, COO at AltLayer.
  2. Company page. The AltLayer page lists him on the team, and his person page shows LinkedIn and X on file.
  3. Outside check. CoinDesk reported on 15 November 2022 that AltLayer appointed him chief operating officer, and IQ.wiki carries the same role. That report is from 2022, so read his X bio for the current seat before you write.

The same check confirmed 1 more: TheOrg lists David Gogel as Chief Operating Officer at dYdX, and NAUT holds him as Davig Gogel at Arcus (Previously dYdX), so search both spellings.

What a BD lead, founder or investor does with a crypto COO

A crypto COO title is 1 search on NAUT. A web3 COO search does not return heads of operations, which are a separate title search.

  • A BD lead selling a service opens the company page first to see who sits beside the COO, then writes to the COO on LinkedIn, the channel 161 of the 194 have on file.
  • A founder raising reads the COOs at teams a fund already backs and asks 1 of them how the fund works with its companies after the round.
  • An investor sourcing uses the 51 COOs reachable on 3 channels as a short list, from Jupiter to Wormhole, and checks each seat before a call.
