Kristina Campbell, who served as Ripple’s Chief Financial Officer (CFO) for two and a half years, has ended her relationship with the company.

Campbell Moves on to Maven Clinic

Campbell’s career change was updated on her LinkedIn page on October 5, and she expressed excitement about joining Maven Clinic. She also said her belief in using transformative technologies to change people’s lives for the better, especially when it comes to healthcare.

Initially, Campbell joined Ripple back in April 2021. At the time, she already had an extensive background in financial services, as can also be seen on her LinkedIn page.

She used to work at PayNearMe, also as a CFO, and before that, she spent nearly six years at Green Dot Corporation, advancing through the ranks until she became the General Manager.

Now, Ripple is also a part of this extensive background, and Campbell played a pivotal role in overseeing many of the firm’s financial aspects.

It is worth noting that she joined and worked at Ripple during a particularly challenging period, not only because of the post-COVID situation but also because this was when Ripple fought the legal battle against the US SEC.

Campbell’s Departure Affects Ripple

Given that neither Ripple nor Campbell provided a reason behind her departure, many in the crypto community started speculating about the move and its potential consequences.

Some have questioned what this means for Ripple and its future trajectory and whether the company will be able to navigate the SEC’s lawsuit with the same level of success.

Her departure also introduced uncertainty among XRP holders, some of whom sold their holdings, leading to a 3.7% price drop within only 24 hours.

On the positive side, Ripple has had significant leadership changes in the past, and the company survived such periods and changes just fine.
