Bio

CEO at cheqd, building the network for creating digital credential businesses and solving self-sovereign identity's commercial viability. Prior to this, consultant working across technologies and industries internationally, specialising in de-centralised identity, blockchain-based payments and FinTech. Straddling the worlds of business and technology I have managed highly challenging deliveries and architected complex systems, including authoring payments. Highlights include: • Known Traveller Digital Identity Specifications Guidance with the World Economic Forum outlining the standards, specifications and guidance for the current and subsequent pilots. • Jasper-Ubin with the Bank of Canada & Monetary Authority of Singapore on ''Cross-Border High Value Transfer Using Distributed Ledger Technologies''. • Mentor at the London FinTech Innovation Lab, down-selecting start-ups for the cohort and supporting them with strategy and technology decisions. My spare time is spent bouldering, rebuilding bikes and backpacking.
