At the end of this week, I'll be attending Philippine Blockchain Week 2026 (among the key attendees is the Blockchain Council of the Philippines) in Manila: https://www.pbw.ph/
Having spent most of my career in institutional research and traditional financial markets, I find it increasingly difficult to draw a clear line between "traditional finance" and "digital finance." The conversation has moved far beyond cryptocurrencies. Today, it is more tilted towards payments, fintech infrastructure, identity, tokenization, and the practical question of how value becomes less geographically restricted and why.
What interests me most is not the technology itself, but the people building real-world applications around it.
This year I'll be representing Drofa Comms, one of the official media partners of PBW 2026, and leading interviews for our Women Leading the Way initiative, which highlights female leaders shaping fintech, Web3, and financial innovation globally.
If you're attending PBW and working on solving tangible business problems rather than chasing headlines, I'd be glad to connect.
❕ Particularly interested in speaking with:
🔺 founders building practical blockchain use cases
🔺fintech and payments executives
🔺regulators and compliance professionals
🔺investors focused on infrastructure rather than speculation
Looking forward to a week of conversations, ideas, and hopefully a few insights worth bringing back to the wider financial community. Drop me a line if you are going to attend!
