Principal at HRB GROUP®

London, United Kingdom

With over 15 years of experience in the financial and technology sectors, I am a visionary entrepreneur and leader who drives innovation, disruption, and value creation across multiple industries. I founded HRB GROUP®, a venture builder that specializes in the intersections of finance and technology, with a focus on AI, digital strategy, and business strategic management.

I have a track record of delivering innovative and pragmatic solutions, incremental concepts, and product design for various clients and projects, ranging from DLT blockchain remittances to tokenization platforms. I have also co-authored and contributed to two Wiley published books on PayTech and AI, and participated in UK/EU parliamentary sessions on technology. I am passionate about shaping and contributing to the development of a competitive, resilient, efficient, and inclusive financial system that leverages the power of convergence technologies.
