Banking Transformation Summit 2025 - Keynote Speaker

Nov 17 - 18, 2025

🚀 Still energized from the Banking Transformation Summit 2025 in Charlotte, where I had the privilege of sharing MG Insight's vision for hybrid trust models in tokenized finance.

In my keynote, I explored how centralized assurance and decentralized verification can work in tandem to enable privacy-preserving, secure, and audit-friendly ecosystems, without compromising user control or regulatory confidence.

We walked through real-world use cases showing how public-private collaboration can establish protocols where trust, anchored by authoritative institutions, can be shared and reused across ecosystems to accelerate digital finance and inclusive economic growth.

Thank you 方明治博士Dr. Meiji Fong for your support.

Thank you, Shefali Bharti, for capturing the Summit’s themes so thoughtfully.

Big kudos to the Encompass Corporation team Heather E. Balke and Lee Forsyth for recommending such an engaging and forward-looking conference.

Sincere appreciation to Atul Subbiah for opening my session, and to Avinash Parab, Cameron Copenhaver, John Gutreuter, and Shefali for the insightful questions that followed.

And a huge thank you to Mark Johnstone, Izzy Reed, Peter Curran, and the entire BTS team for curating such a thoughtful, future-forward space for these conversations. I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute—and even more excited about the partnerships and provocations that emerged.

P.S. To everyone who reached out with thoughtful questions, ideas, and shared purpose—thank you. I’m especially looking forward to continuing the conversations with Dr. Vikas Shah, Robert Olson, Wesley Bambini, Henan Li, Phoenix Pei, Saheli Mukherjee, Reina Oliver, Diana John, Paresh Mutha, Thomas Mattapallil, Kevin Chan-A-Shing, Dinesh Bylapudi, Wendy Wilkinson 💼 - looking forward to continuing our conversation.
