Keith brings with him a wealth of experience in creating and building successful fintech companies for the investment and security services markets. Keith was previously CEO of Multifonds, a market leader in investment fund software for the alternative and traditional fund industry, which he sold to Temenos, the world’s leader in banking software, for $265m in 2015. He then joined Temenos Executive Management Board. Prior to Multifonds, Keith co-founded Netik, the data management software provider, acquired by the Bank of New York in 2004.

Keith comes with a huge reputation and is well-liked across the industry. We are honoured that he is now part of our organisation and is a testament to the progress we have already made with our enterprise blockchain solution.”

Keith added: “I’m delighted to join Cygnetise as a Director and advisor. Blockchain is often overhyped, but Cygnetise has identified and implemented a simple but extremely useful initial use case of managing authorised signature lists using DLT-based technology.
