While at Money 20/20 in Las Vegas, Sam Maule, our Managing Partner of 11FS North America caught up with Amber Baldet, an Executive Director at JP Morgan, and the Programme Lead for Blockchain Centre of Excellence.

When building and growing any new business, our thought process is challenged consistently to ensure the proposed course of action delivers a positive impact. While applicable to all parts of a business, these conversations between teams developing new products are a daily occurrence. And no, they’re not always easy.

At 11:FS we’re always looking to get young people into fintech. We want to recruit the new wave of young people coming in to the market who want to get ahead. Part of that is our internship programme. But we also take on young people looking for work experience, whether it’s to get a taste of the industry they love or to try something new.Lucy was at 11:FS recently for two days, working in our marketing department and getting to grips with what fintech really means. We asked her a few questions to see what she got out of the experience.

I was at a big bank’s conference the other day and was intrigued at how often the subject of cryptocurrencies and bitcoin came up.

I do not profess to be, as way too many in the tech industry do today, a blockchain guru or subject matter expert. I leave that designation to 11:FS co-founder Simon Taylor. Simon is the MacGyver of the blockchain community. Give him a stapler, a can of Bud Lite, Duct Tape, and a flashlight, and he will somehow concoct a DLT smart contract solution for a client. A solution that can actually be delivered and that addresses a real business case.
