Speaker Bio

Andrzej Horoszczak is the CEO and the founder of Billon ( new name : Stabillon) , a Polish-British company that is changing the fundamentals behind the way money, documents and personal data is stored and moved between people and businesses. A former Wall Street IT whizzkid, and McKinsey Senior Executive, Andrzej experienced first-hand the inherent flaws and inefficiencies of an antiquated IT system serving global trade and finances. The 2008 crisis mobilised him to take action. Andrzej saw the potential for the distributed ledger technology to form the basis of an evolved, trustworthy and efficient new system for the global exchange of value. "My journey with civilizing blockchain began during the decade that I have worked on Wall Street and in the City. I came to a conclusion that we need an entirely new technology to solve three fundamental problems of outdated centralized IT systems: data isolation, cumbersome number of intermediaries, and unsustainable security architecture. “ - said Andrzej Horoszczak.
