Forward Industries Appoints Georgia Quinn as General Counsel to Bolster Solana Treasury Strategy

Forward Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ: FWDI) has appointed Georgia Quinn as General Counsel, effective immediately, to oversee the company's legal and compliance functions as it scales its Solana-focused treasury strategy. Quinn brings nearly two decades of legal, regulatory and fintech experience to the role, including senior positions at digital asset platforms Securitize, Anchorage Digital and CoinList. Her background also includes work on Solana's initial fundraising and token launch, providing her with deep institutional knowledge of the blockchain ecosystem the company is now embracing for treasury management.

The appointment comes as Forward Industries continues to expand its innovative approach to corporate treasury management through cryptocurrency exposure. In September 2025, the company initiated a Solana treasury strategy dedicated to acquiring SOL tokens and increasing SOL-per-share through bespoke strategies and active management of the company's treasury. This strategic direction represents a significant shift for the 60-year-old global design company that traditionally served medical and technology clients.

Forward Industries stated that Quinn's background in digital asset governance and global regulatory frameworks will be crucial for supporting the company's strategic expansion and reinforcing its position within the Solana ecosystem. Her experience navigating complex regulatory environments across multiple jurisdictions positions her to help the company manage the legal complexities associated with holding digital assets on corporate balance sheets. The company's Solana treasury strategy is supported by industry leading investors and operating partners, including Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital, with additional information available at https://sol.forwardindustries.com.

This appointment signals growing corporate confidence in cryptocurrency as a legitimate treasury asset class. As more traditional companies explore digital asset strategies, the need for specialized legal expertise becomes increasingly important. Quinn's appointment reflects the maturation of corporate cryptocurrency adoption, moving beyond speculative investment to strategic treasury management. The move also highlights the Solana blockchain's growing acceptance among institutional players seeking exposure to digital assets beyond Bitcoin and Ethereum.
