Polymarket, the prediction market platform, hires a former Goldman Sachs partner as its head of institutional growth, the company’s latest effort to attract more institutional participation.
According to the reports, Lisa Mantil, a Goldman Sachs veteran with nearly 30 years at the firm, is appointed to the role. The outlets describe the move as part of Polymarket’s broader push to build ties with Wall Street and increase liquidity among professional traders.
While both sources focus on the same appointment, they frame it slightly differently: Bloomberg emphasizes the hire as a high-profile addition as Polymarket courts Wall Street, while Quartz highlights the specific goal of attracting Wall Street liquidity. Neither source provides additional details on Polymarket’s immediate business plans, compensation, or timelines beyond the leadership appointment.
