The company reports that they have a documented equal pay policy and that the mean gender pay gap is less than 10%; both signal the company’s commitment to changing the tech industry status quo. Finally, the Chief of Legal Affairs, Amanda Wick, spearheads a thought leadership and networking series called “Women in Crypto,” to bring together women from across the world working in cryptocurrency.
Hiring and Inclusion
Chainalysis tracks their Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) data across the recruiting funnel, and works with partners like Power to Fly and HeadStart to increase the diversity of their candidate pool. For the current team, the company sponsors an employee-led Diversity Committee that has a designated budget and works to review and implement grassroots change.
Finally, Chainalysis recently launched a new resource to learn the fundamentals of cryptocurrency education for the “crypto-curious.” Forwarding the mission of financial inclusion, the new Chainalysis Academy is free and open to everyone!
