August 5, 2025 — (Washington, DC) Today, The Digital Chamber (TDC) announced a key leadership hire in Zunera Mazhar, who will serve as Vice President of Policy to help expand TDC’s federal advocacy efforts. 

“As we looked for expertise to amplify our members’ voices in the fight for fair regulations, Zunera stood out for her strong track record of leading in technology, regulation and digital assets,” said Cody Carbone, CEO of The Digital Chamber.  
 
Mazhar brings more than two decades of experience in banking and government, with a strong focus on aligning innovation with financial inclusion and modern regulatory frameworks. A former FDIC Deputy Director and Deputy Chief Innovation Officer, she has spearheaded national initiatives on digital assets and emerging tech. Earlier in her federal career, she held senior leadership roles at the U.S. Department of Education and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, where she directed large-scale IT modernization and enterprise communication strategies. 
 
“Federal regulatory agencies are assuming more responsibility for reviewing guidance and rulemaking on the heels of the White House’s recommendations to secure the U.S.’s leadership role globally in crypto. Zunera’s experience as a former regulator will be invaluable in The Digital Chamber’s efforts to ensure our members’ voices shape the fit-for-purpose rules and laws to preserve space for innovation and access to crypto for all Americans,” added Carbone. 
 
The Digital Chamber, recently marking its eleventh anniversary, is a non-profit organization committed to promoting blockchain adoption. We envision a fair and inclusive digital and financial ecosystem where everyone has the opportunity to participate. Access to digital assets is not merely a technological advancement but a fundamental human right, crucial for economic and social empowerment. Through targeted education, advocacy, and strategic collaborations with government and industry stakeholders, we drive innovation and shape policies that create a favorable environment for the blockchain technology ecosystem.
