Cronos Labs Appoints Edward Adlard as Head of Ecosystem

2nd Dec, 2025 – Cronos Labs today announced the appointment of Edward Adlard as the Head of Ecosystem, where he will drive ecosystem growth, strategic partnerships and the next phase of institutional tokenization and AI-driven on-chain innovation across the Cronos network.

Edward joins Cronos Labs with a unique blend of Web2 operating scale and Web3 ecosystem leadership. Most recently, he served as CEO of Instalabs, operating a regulated, institutional cross-chain bridge. Prior to that, Edward was VP of Growth, Business Development and Strategy at Tezos, where he led ecosystem strategy and chaired the Tezos Foundation’s investment committee, directing capital toward high-impact builders and infrastructure.

Before transitioning into Web3, Edward worked for Amazon, where he held several leadership roles across the UK and EU. He led the turnaround of the Amazon Money Store UK, earning expanded responsibility to oversee Amazon Money Store products across Europe. Edward also led EU operations for Prime Video free content, supporting multi-country expansion and driving global operational improvements across Amazon’s video supply chain.

“I’m excited to join Cronos Labs at a pivotal moment for the network,” said Edward. “Cronos has an active community, a strong technical foundation and proven high-performance infrastructure. The next chapter is about accelerating ecosystem growth by deploying cutting edge new use cases that drive an increase in users, liquidity and builders. I believe Cronos is uniquely positioned to benefit from the maturing of global crypto regulations due to its institutional ready stack, compliance ready primitives and opportunity to more deeply partner with Crypto.com.

Edward will oversee ecosystem strategy, growth programs, partner integrations and developer-facing initiatives that strengthen Cronos’ position as a leading network for users, builders, and institutions.
