Description
Bruce Pon is CEO of BigchainDB and Founder of Ocean Protocol, working to give people power in a new Data Economy.
Since 2013, my co-founders and I have pioneered several "blockchain" tools & applications:
- BigchainDB, a blockchain database for data driven use cases
- Ocean Protocol, a decentralized data exchange protocol that unlocks data for AI
- ascribe.io, a service for creators to claim attribution and transfer rights on the blockchain, including WhereOnThe.net and Image Match ML tools.
- IPDB, the Interplanetary Database, a global blockchain database network
From 2008-2013, I was a Founder at Avantalion International Consulting, whose mission is to build banks for the unbanked. We helped to build 18+ banks and financial services companies across the globe in 12 years.
From 1996-2008, I worked 5+ years at Daimler Financial Services (Mercedes Benz) and 6 years at Accenture.
I've also provided guest lectures at MIT, Oxford, NYU and ESMT, along with over 100 public presentations on blockchain and decentralized technologies.
