Bio

Over the past 15 years (45 in startup years!) I have been passionate about leveraging financial services as a global trust network. Letting us leverage our identity and data with our bank account to do things online with convenience and control of, as consumers, our own data. This started out as a digital identity service, a digital passport or self-sovereign identity that has now become a b2b service and grew into a global credit and risk platform. Along the way, I worked directly in helping establish Open Banking in the UK and, as a global movement, and I am proud of what we achieved as an industry. My ambition to create a truly inclusive financial world by establishing a real-time, universal credit score based on Open Banking Data. I love the startup journey and everything it entails, from the challenge and the opportunity to change the world. It's my ikigai, why I love being agile/iterative, the 'Infinite Mindset', and as a bonus - I get to build things!
