King’s impressive career spans roles at Citibank, Morgan Stanley, Deutsche Bank, and JP Morgan Chase. Backpack claims that his expertise in managing audits, regulatory engagement, and implementing compliance frameworks positions him well to enhance Backpack’s operations.
In this new role, King will be tasked with developing a world-class internal audit department and overseeing the company’s global audit processes.

Armani Ferrante, CEO of Backpack Exchange, emphasized the importance of this appointment: 
<blockquote>
 “Our mission is to establish a crypto exchange that exemplifies transparency, auditability, and accountability. Laurence’s appointment is a testament to our dedication to this goal.”
</blockquote>
King also expressed enthusiasm about joining Backpack, which he noted was only launched in November 2023 and yet demonstrated “a strong commitment to compliance and accountability.”
<blockquote>
 “I look forward to leading our efforts to build robust global audit and compliance frameworks, thereby enhancing integrity and transparency in the cryptocurrency industry,” 
</blockquote>
King stated.
