Founding GTM Leader (Sales)

About Pure
Pure is building the future of rare coin and precious metal trading. We believe collectors and investors deserve financial infrastructure that matches the standards of modern markets. That is why we are creating a new kind of order book marketplace that brings transparency, efficiency, and trust to an industry still rooted in legacy systems.

Started in 2023, Pure is one of the fastest growing marketplaces for tangible assets. We currently process over $45 million in transactions each month and are expanding rapidly. Our mission is to modernize an old industry by combining the reliability of traditional trading systems with the innovation of cutting-edge technology.
