SPEAKING TOPICS
Substance for the stage.
Practical conversations rooted in operating experience across African and international financial markets.
The Pre-Funding Trap
Why cross-border payment economics are a capital-structure problem, and how operators can quantify and manage corridor float.
Orchestrating Liquidity
Applying payment-orchestration logic to liquidity itself — because fast rails are slowed by settlement and liquidity, not speed.
Africa in Global Financial Infrastructure
How the continent’s fragmented ecosystems connect to global developments in digital assets and treasury transformation.
Stablecoins & Settlement
A practitioner’s view of where stablecoins genuinely improve settlement and liquidity mobility — and where the risks really sit.
