Chief Product Officer at Zodia Custody, a majority-owned subsidiary of Standard Chartered and an institutional digital asset custodian regulated across multiple jurisdictions. I own Product and Engineering, covering platform architecture, delivery and production operations. I held Group Chief Risk Officer at the same firm for four years before this, having joined in 2021 to build the risk and control framework as the business moved from early-stage custodian to regulated institution. Before Zodia I spent seven years at Citi, latterly in operational risk framework and strategy. The combination is deliberate. In this sector the control environment and the architecture are the same problem. A custody platform is worth what you can evidence to an auditor, a supervisor and a client's own security team, usually within the same quarter. Current focus is what institutional adoption requires once the pilot ends: stablecoin settlement, tokenised collateral, key management under live conditions and the operating model underneath. Open to conversations on institutional digital asset infrastructure. And when I'm not busy with the demands of the digital asset world, I spend my time engaging in one of my many hobbies, notably DJ'ing.
