Kenneth Shek is the CEO of Moca Network, the identity ecosystem built by Animoca Brands. Over fifteen years he has founded and operated startups across solar energy, social networking in Los Angeles, cross-border e-commerce between China and the rest of the world, and enterprise AI. He joined Animoca around five years ago and has led Moca Network from its first day.
Jason Hitchcock is CEO of Greenlane Holdings (Nasdaq: GNLN), the only US-listed vehicle purpose-built to hold BERA, the native token of the Berachain network, and to put that treasury to work inside the chain's Proof of Liquidity economy. Before taking the job in February he spent fifteen years on the business side of technology startups — a venture studio that sold an app to Amazon, a stint at Twitch, then a liquid token fund launched off the back of a DeFi Summer obsession — and most recently ran business development at thirdweb, where he built out chain infrastructure partnerships across more than 150 networks.
Andrey Didovskiy is the CEO of Seasons, a Solana DeFi protocol built around a Yield 3.0 mechanism which pays holders real assets, gold, Bitcoin and dollars, funded by trading activity. A near-decade crypto veteran who broke into the industry writing white papers before running Atleta Network and co-founding the consultancy SYSDK, Andrey brings an operator's eye to a key problem in decentralized finance: yield that vanishes when prices turn.
Tom Gadsden is Vice President of Product at Shufti, the London-based identity-verification and fraud-prevention platform built to let businesses onboard and screen users across borders in seconds rather than days. Gadsden has spent more than a decade building identity and financial-crime products, with earlier roles at credit bureau Experian and in card payments, giving him a close view of how fraud has scaled from a cottage problem into an industry.
Margie Feng is marketing lead at Solayer, the Solana-compatible layer-one and the team behind Margin Trade, a non-custodial perpetuals platform that lets traders hold crypto, commodities and equities in a single cross-margin account. Feng came to Web3 from Bitmain, the world's largest crypto-mining hardware maker, and before that ran PR and marketing in the automotive industry for luxury marques including BMW and Genesis, an unusual path that informs her core pitch: she markets as the non-technical user she is, translating complicated machinery into something an ordinary trader actually wants.
Ilies Larbi is the founder and CEO of Ouinex, a multi-asset trading platform built to fuse crypto and traditional markets in a single account while shielding retail traders from the structural disadvantages of conventional order books. A nearly fifteen-year veteran of New York-based forex broker FXCM, where he climbed from sales associate to Managing Director for Europe and a seat on the executive committee, the Paris-based Larbi stepped into crypto in 2022 — late by bull-run standards, as he admits, but with a clear view of the gap he wanted to fill.
Sebastian Salomon is the CGO and co-founder of oneBanking, a Malta-registered fintech building an all-in-one app that fuses everyday banking, crypto, and an AI assistant designed to save users money. A 31-year-old German serial entrepreneur, Sebastian started his first company, an e-commerce sports-nutrition business, straight out of his studies in 2016, then co-founded a business-coaching venture that he says has worked with thousands of founders and small companies, giving him a broad read on where technology and money are heading next.
Lili Hellriegel is head of enterprise solutions at Cherry Servers, a Lithuania-based bare metal cloud provider that pitches itself as a sovereign, Web3-friendly alternative to the US hyperscalers. Before joining Cherry, Lili was head of infrastructure at staking firm Blockdaemon, where she built out data center partnerships, network architecture and the server specs behind validation workloads — work that left her unusually fluent in what crypto teams actually need from their infrastructure.
Cam Darlington is Global Strategy Expert at Mitrade, the Australian-founded CFD trading platform regulated by ASIC in Australia and CySEC in Europe, offering forex, commodities, indices, shares, and crypto from a single account. A Nova Scotia native based in Hong Kong for the past eight years, Cam brings a dual perspective: a traditional finance background working with brokers expanding across Asia, and recent experience as co-founder and COO of easy.fun, a social trading app built on Solana and Hyperliquid.
Professor Lisa Wilson is CEO, Director GRND, BVI & Canada, and Global Head of Strategic Partnerships Carbon Capital Corporation, Australia, London, Luxemburg, Paris, New York, Singapore. nGRND is a gold protocol indirectly linked to verified in-ground gold resources. An Australian who holds a South African professorship and lives in France, Wilson is a mining insider — she has written operational and hazard-standards systems for the likes of Rio Tinto and BHP — with a parallel career in blockchain, where she helped list the world's first actively managed certificates for investment-grade carbon assets.
