Caroline Ellison (born 1994)[1] is an American business executive. She is the CEO of Alameda Research, a quantitative trading firm founded by Sam Bankman-Fried.[2] According to an anonymous source cited by the Wall Street Journal in November 2022, Alameda Research owed $10 billion to cryptocurrency exchange FTX. The source said FTX had lent the trading firm money from customer funds at FTX.[3][4][2]

Early life and education

Ellison is the jewish daughter of Glenn Ellison, the Gregory K. Palm (1970) Professor of Economics at MIT, who coached her math team as a middle schooler,[5][6] and Sara Fisher Ellison, also an economist at MIT.[7][8] As a high school student, she attended Newton North High School and represented the US in the 2011 International Linguistics Olympiad.[9][10][11] Ellison graduated from Stanford University in 2016 with a bachelor's degree in mathematics.[12]

Career

After graduation, Ellison worked for the quantitative trading firm Jane Street where she met Sam Bankman-Fried.[2] Ellison spent 19 months as a junior trader at Jane Street.[12] She then moved to Alameda Research in March 2018.[12]

Ellison became the sole CEO of Alameda Research in August 2022 after her co-CEO Sam Trabucco stepped down.[13][14]

Ellison donated money to the FTX Future Fund to fund philanthropic endeavors following the principles of effective altruism.[15]

On 6 November 2022, after CoinDesk raised serious concerns about the balance sheet of Alameda Research and its relationship with FTX, Ellison said that the balance sheet information that had been circulating included only some of Alameda's assets, and that the firm had more than $10 billion of additional assets.[16][17] According to anonymous sources cited by the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, Ellison was on a video meeting with employees on 9 November 2022 where she admitted that FTX used customer money to help Alameda meet its liabilities and that she, Bankman-Fried, and two other FTX executives, Nishad Singh and Gary Wang, were aware of this.[18][19]
