Richard Clark

For more than 20 years, I've worked across global financial markets and, more recently, at the intersection of traditional finance and digital assets. I spent 15 years at Bank of America Merrill Lynch across derivatives, futures and options, prime brokerage, clearing, electronic trading and credit before joining Zodia Custody in 2022. Since then, as a member of the Executive Committee, I've played a key role in scaling the business from its early commercial foundations into a global institutional digital-assets platform, driving significant growth across clients, revenue and partnerships. Alongside that growth, I've played a central role in building Zodia's reputation and establishing it as a recognised and trusted name across the global digital-assets ecosystem. Today, I work across strategy, commercial growth, clients and partnerships, while building and leading teams across multiple regions. I'm a hands-on leader and like staying close to clients, partners and markets, as it is where many of the best ideas and opportunities start. Relationships have always been central to how I work. I believe trust compounds, communities create opportunity, and the strongest commercial outcomes usually follow when you focus first on creating value for the people around you. That philosophy extends beyond my day job. I've co-founded communities across digital assets, sport and music, bringing people together around shared interests and creating relationships that often extend far beyond the original idea. Build businesses. Build communities. Build trust.
