Block Reign Inc., an Orem-based technology company delivering products and solutions integrated with the Gnodi blockchain, has announced the appointment of Cathryn “Cat” H. Bonar as CEO.
Bonar succeeds the company’s founding leadership team and will guide Block Reign’s next phase of growth following the successful deployment of the Gnodi Mainnet, a decentralized public blockchain network launched by Block Reign in September.
“Bonar is a seasoned leader, innovator and strategist with more than two decades of experience across health care, FDA-regulated devices and Web3,” Block Reign said in the announcement.
Bonar’s background includes serving as a member of the executive team during the Nasdaq listing of a regulated health care company; contributing to the development, launch and go-to-market strategy for an FDA-cleared, Medicare-approved oral appliance for sleep apnea; and architecting compliance and governance programs for wallets, staking, token distribution, DAOs and decentralized platforms. She has led global training for more than 5,000 providers and sales representatives.
“Responsible innovation is the core of durable ecosystems,” said Bonar. “Block Reign is committed to advancing user-centric, real-world blockchain utility with rigorous governance and compliance. We will scale Gnodi-powered products that protect users, empower communities, and create pathways for everyday participation.”
“Cat’s combination of regulatory depth, product pragmatism and community focus is exactly what Block Reign needs at this stage,” said a spokesperson for Block Reign’s board. “With Gnodi Mainnet now live, Cat will accelerate the roadmap from infrastructure to applications that deliver value to businesses and users alike.”
