BIO
Spent first half of my career in the banking/finance industry focusing on implementing payment technologies. In the last 10 years I have worked in 2 startups (not including Instakin) - one related to semi-conductors and the other related to a platform for social media marketing. I have also worked for Fortune 500 companies (Fiserv and LexisNexis) where I led teams to deliver next generation products related to core banking systems and AI.
