Jonathan Tompkins joined Atomica at its inception in September of 2018. Before joining Atomica he spent 12+ years in management, deployment, and custom solution design in traditional fintech. He started and ran the professional services department at Eze Software group, a global provider of Investment Management Systems to hedge funds and asset managers with 1,800+ clients in 45+ countries. There he ran a team of analysts and developers designing and building solutions for clients’ complex portfolio allocation, compliance, P&L, Risk Management, and trading logic needs. Through the 2008 financial crisis he was in New York, working closely with clients and witnessing the result of unchecked leverage and risk taking being minimal real consequences to those taking the risks. This experience and finding bitcoin and ethereum in 2016 inspired him to build better financial systems on decentralized infrastructure. Jon studied Economics and Philosophy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
