In this episode of the #PAY Podcast Bruce Burke speaks with Areiel Wolanow, Managing Director of Finserv Experts. An independent consulting firm offering both advisory and solution delivery expertise in Blockchain, Machine Learning, Financial Inclusion &amp; Agile DevOps Adoption. Finserv Experts consultants regularly speak at conferences and workshops around the world, from local community meetups to major global summits like the G20. Recent appearances include the Insurance Institute of London, The Future of Blockchain Summit in Dubai, UK Parliament - Parliamentary Blockchain Showcase and Blockchain Technology World in London. Areiel Wolanow is a globally recognized thought leader in blockchain, machine learning, and financial inclusion.  He is currently the Managing Director of Finserv Experts, his clients have included HSBC, Bank of America, Lloyd’s of London and Deutsche Telekom.  Areiel is an active advisor to the UK government on blockchain regulation and adoption. Areiel is conducting a masterclass on Monday, August 19, 2019 as one of the pre-conference events of the #PAY Symposium &amp; Exposition at Caesars Palace, Las Vegas. Register today for Unlocking Investment in Blockchain Projects and learn how to get your startup or project the resources it needs to become successful.  In this masterclass Areiel Wolanow will share the approach Finserv Experts uses to help its clients successfully get projects funded.   Areiel will start by walking through a real-world business case that has unlocked investment in a DLT prototype for one of the world’s most well recognized financial markets. Finserv Experts has developed a methodology on how to articulate the business benefits of blockchain and DLT solutions in a way that investors and board members will understand. The biggest challenge in raising money for new blockchain solutions – both for startups and established enterprises – is articulating the benefits that the new solution will deliver.   Quantifying these benefits can be quite difficult; in many cases the business models are so new that there aren’t reliable reference cases on which to base benefit realization estimates. The group will break into smaller teams and receive real-world experience developing a DLT business case.  Attendees will take away the business case template developed for use on their own projects. Some of the projects that Areiel and the Finserv Experts have developed include Lloyds of London, HSBC, Merrill Lynch and the Monetary Authority of Singapore, the Commerical Bank of Africa and many more. At Lloyd’s of London, Areiel served as the delivery leader and overall solution architect for the successfully delivered DLT-enabled trade settlement and claims agreement prototype programme.  Much of Lloyd’s post-settlement processing remains as paper based as it was when Lloyd’s became the world’s leading insurance market in the early 1700’s.   This prototype enabled the London Market Target Operating Model  programme envision a solution in which the transaction accounting, claims agreement, net settlement, and reporting functions are digitized and automated via a transparent, immutable, blockchain-based ledger. Areiel worked with Bank of America, HSBC, and the Monetary Authority of Singapore to lead the development of a working blockchain prototype for letter of credit origination.  This was IBM’s very first commercial consulting engagement for blockchain, and successfully delivered on time. Areiel worked with Commercial Bank of Africa to lead the development of a machine learning based credit scoring solution for loans issued over mPesa, Kenya’s world leading mobile payments solution.  For more information on Areiel's masterclass visit: https://www.paysymposium.com/pre-conference--- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/bruce-burke/support
