From here, Sendi built out expertise across global payments with marquee names, before immersing herself in the world of blockchain, having recognised the pain points and pitfalls of the traditional financial system. A “crypto gal” through and through, Sendi represents a European and Global Crypto leader, providing invaluable technical insight into the crypto and payments ecosystems, her love of the Argentine Tango and how she has risen to prominence.
