Drafting the pr release, performing KYC checks on clients, pitching our company at investor forums, you name it, I have done it. From the client-side of blockchain, I made a career move to help set up a cryptocurrency exchange which gives me a 360-degree view of the crypto scene. I led engagements with MAS which culminated in the company receiving approval from MAS to enter the Fintech Express Sandbox to offer digital securities on the blockchain. I am well versed in Payment Services (PSA), Recognised Market Operator (RMO) licensing as well as Technology Risk Management (TRM) frameworks. A self-starter in blockchain, I live and breathe the technology. I have given talks to financial institutions, private banking wealth managers as well as CXOs of companies. In 2021, I was appointed as one of the judges for the prestigious Lee Hsien Loong Interactive Digital Media Smart Nation Award.
