TEAM
Word from our team
“With an extensive experience in financial markets, I have seen first hand how the 08’ crisis has effected global markets. Reckless behaviour from banks some called “too big to fail”. De-regulation and crony capitalism have shown how human interference can lead to abuses and value destruction. Blockchain in simple terms, reduces the “human error” component of our models used, which is why a full adoption of the technology made perfect sense. At Akwan, we believe it will be inevitable for businesses to make the switch and we can only support those who do and assist our clients in identifying them.”
