“As others rise up, we’ll see stronger competition and more interoperability with these majors. This is also where most companies first start to consider receiving cryptocurrency for basic payments, which leaves no doubt in making these currencies even stronger and not go anywhere anytime soon.”
CryptoSlate Building the Financial Tools for Africa to become a crypto powerhouse
“In 2007, after graduating with an MBA in Finance and Strategy from University of Chicago, and with my zest for innovation and disruption, I headed west (California) in search of ‘golden’ opportunities in the startup craze sweeping the nation, finding myself drawn to all things web 2.0, community and social impact driven.
Medium Crypto can give Africa financial freedom
“To this generation of young, up-and-coming entrepreneurs, the idea of having to rely on systems of finance, government and technology built on the crumbling edifice of tradition belongs with the dinosaurs. They want to build their own destinies and future relying on their own skill and resources.”

No greater pleasure than to grow a collegial relation with Lynn Liss. Our conversation started in 2010 when I was asked by Lynn to come in as a neuroconsultant for new company AOK. By 2012, we knew we just had to work together in some fashion.
Today, I am pleased to include Lynn as an "axon ally" to our GGI team of inventios! and neuronauts. Her leadership in social entrepreneurship and game design for youth has enabled my company to find its footing in new enriched soil of opportunity.
Case in point: http://inventiobrains.com is the result of an AOK / GGI collaboration that continues to grow with pleasure, trust and value. Without Lynn's expert business acumen in designing, managing and staging the launch of inventiobrains, I would be lost in the design abyss.
Today my team and I are moving a head with strategy and confidence and I have Lynn to thank for that.

Lynn was able to make valuable connections throughout the JPMorgan Chase organization, as a consultant, which is not an easy task. She was very highly viewed within the senior leadership team and was able to effectively communicate with employees in order to accomplish the goals and tasks of the various projects on time and successfully.
Her leadership and ability to effectively communicate at all levels of the organization (from senior leadership level to project level) was unsurpassed and her enthusiasm to move our major initiatives forward was infectious to those around her.
She was considered a major component to the success of our legal entity mergers. She was able to drive major contracts and project teams forward across our many global organization units.
