About the Founder

A Decade at the Heart of Digital Assets and Payments

With over ten years operating at the intersection of digital assets and payments infrastructure, I bring a rare perspective — one shaped by building the very relationships and systems that enabled stablecoin and crypto flows through the United Kingdom.

Now, I am taking what I have learnt from the heart of the payments system to help enterprises capitalise on the opportunities emerging across the stablecoin industry.

Track Record

Pioneering Digital Asset Infrastructure in the UK

ClearBank — Building the Foundation

I identified the opportunity within digital assets for ClearBank, pitched the business case to senior leadership, and was entrusted with building and running the division. I was responsible for originating the first deals between crypto firms and payment banks in the UK — relationships that became the foundation for nearly all digital asset and stablecoin flows through the country.

Cross-Industry Advisory

Since ClearBank, I have worked with multiple banks, payment companies, and crypto firms on their payment and technology infrastructure — advising on everything from settlement architecture to regulatory strategy. This breadth of experience across both traditional and digital rails provides a unique vantage point from which to advise enterprises entering the stablecoin space.
