AVAX One CEO Jolie Kahn Resigns, COO Pete Wylie Named Interim

The board has retained an executive search firm to find a permanent chief executive, with investors watching the company’s large AVAX treasury and mining business.

Overview

  • The company announced on Monday that Jolie Kahn resigned effective immediately and the board appointed Chief Operating Officer Pete Wylie as interim CEO while it conducts a search with ZRG Partners.
  • AVAX One confirmed the departure was not the result of any disagreement with the company’s operations and said the board initiated a comprehensive search for a permanent successor.
  • Company disclosures and reporting show AVAX One holds roughly 13.8–14 million AVAX tokens and operates Bitcoin mining sites in Alberta and Ohio at about 300 PH/s, facts that help explain investor focus on governance and treasury risk.
  • Media reports supplement the corporate filing with details that the company’s preliminary Q1 2026 revenue was about $2.4 million and that separation and interim pay terms include reported payments to Kahn and monthly interim pay to Wylie, though those compensation figures come from press reporting and company filings vary in detail.
  • Recent corporate moves that shape investor exposure include a 12-for-1 reverse stock split in mid-June and the firm’s stated strategy of staking AVAX and building modular data centers, meaning the next CEO will inherit a hybrid business tied closely to token prices and mining economics.
