Leading the global revenue and Go-To-Market teams at Opensee.Opensee is a cutting edge Fintech that created a unique data platform for the financial services industry that empowers end users to analyse large amounts of data without being constrained by volume or data application locations.What problems do we solve?Treasury, Risk and Finance managers, Quants, Traders and Technology Professionals face 4 major data-related constraints:- High complexity to navigate across multiple data sources- Calculations and measures are executed with no auditability- Golden sources / data lakes offer no direct usability for the business, overloading IT with change requests- Cost of compute for data processing gets unpredictable when using pay per use queries or in memory solutionsOur two steps to business impact:1. Consolidate your sources, feeds & datasets into one domain specific referential (with full governance, ultra high performance and scalability at controlled cost) 2. Deploy applied explainability to your use cases for your metrics (with all historical and granular data) including Self service on data quality, calculations, aggregations, measures, simulationsWe believe that end users need to be given full data access in a secure environment. This means 100% ownership of their data from A to Z (A to Z = the entire business chain) in one single system with no compromise on speed, granularity, volume, cost or exploratory dimensions. We are different from other applications and vendors as we use a dedicated and composable Python module but, more importantly, we run at a low cost in terms of infrastructure as Opensee uses disc rather than memory. Our biggest asset, however, are our people. We have formed a formidable team of former Risk, Capital Markets and Tech Executives that understand the day to day operations challenges at banks and FMIs.

DA helps ambitious companies gain a competitive advantage by automating processes across a virtual, shared system of record. Companies can now focus on providing the products and services their customers demand without being held back by operational inefficiencies. Our mission is to deliver software and services that create a thriving, interconnected ecosystem.DA delivers new multi-party solutions that transform disparate silos into synchronized networks, eradicating latency and errors by guaranteeing consistent data with a development language originally developed by Digital Asset, called Daml.Today's blockchains provide a partial solution to the problem of siloed data, as they synchronize transactions between participating users. Still, boundaries remain between different blockchain deployments and between blockchains and traditional IT systems.What is needed to overcome these market and technological hurdles is a new network-of-networks — one that not only grows economic value, but that also enables it to flow freely, securely, and with strict privacy, across interconnected systems. DA calls this the Global Economic Network.
