We are pleased to announce that Jonathan is joining our board as FinTech advisor. Jonathan is the Founder and Chairman of Kobe International Blockchain Research Center, a Blockchain and innovation startup based in Japan. He is also the Founder and CEO of Thinkq.co, a digital transformation startup based in Singapore.

Jonathan has more than a decade of experience in the financial services industry and has supported dozens of organizations in digital transformation, automations leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning, and risk management. Jonathan has been leading digital and innovation collaborations across Singapore, Japan, Africa, Vietnam, Bangladesh, London and San Francisco. He is also a FinTech thought-leader across Asia.

Jonathan will be instrumental in advising the team to strengthen FinTech collaboration and partnerships across Asia, and be part of the core team to explore further breakthroughs in our Blockchain agnostic payments technology.

“While we have extended our reach to platforms such as e-commerce, micro-financing, DeFi and NGOs within Africa, having footprints across continents further fortify our mission where we aim to bring financial instruments and services to those that do not have access to the internet or have the capital, or credit standing to open a bank account. With the team’s extensive knowledge and experience in Blockchain agnostic protocols, I believe we can bring financial inclusivity to the people in a greater extend.” — Jonathan Morgan

We are excited to have Jonathan on board!!.
