Technology continues to disrupt industries and change our lives in numerous ways. For example, the mobile phone has radically changed the way we communicate, and messaging platforms such as Slack and Watsapp have become today’s norm. Right now, there is a revolution taking place in fintech. At its heart is Switzerland’s Crypto Valley which continues to lead the way in digital innovation.

At Kashet, we are building the bridge between the innovations of Switzerland and the financial traditions of the City of London. By combining these old and new worlds of banking, we aim to delight people with digital services they can truly trust and love to use.

In my previous life I was focused on the crossover space between fintech and financial services and how we can all make better use of data. Alongside this I was tasked with ensuring compliance with emerging license rules. I then went on to found Parallel Thinking after my "corporate years" to execute various consultancy and project assignments across Europe.

I returned to the corporate world with Logica in the UK, and then moved back to Switzerland with a global role at Capgemini, again creating new business across the financial services space before my latest endeavour at Kashet.

In summary, I enjoy being a "rain-maker" for technology services in the financial markets. So, if you feel there’s potentially a shared purpose, I’d love to hear from you. Drop me a DM and let’s see if there’s grounds for discussion.
