By Joanne Cousins on 01/02/2023

In episode 4 of Blockchain Chatter Dexter Cousins chats with Shane Verner from Fireblocks.

Shane shares the amazing story of Fireblocks, a tech startup that got to $100m ARR in record time (only Slack has accomplished this feat faster than Fireblocks!)

Dexter asks Shane why an Israeli-based Blockchain business sees Australia as such an important market.

And they talk about some of the groundbreaking work Fireblocks is doing in the Australian market.

Shane has spent many years in the banking technology sector working for companies like Thought Machine, IBM and Cisco. He shares his insights on how blockchain and digital assets are the future of the banking industry.
