Singapore-Based Blockchain Company Aqilliz, headed by former WPP Global Client lead – Gowthaman Ragothaman, has appointed ex-HSBC APAC Innovation SVP, Prateek Dayal as Chief Strategy Officer.
Prior to joining Aqilliz, Prateek was APAC Innovation SVP at HSBC. He also previously served as Head of Strategy at Royal Bank of Scotland; VP of Mobile and Digital at Barclays Bank; and McKinsey & Company prior to that
“Helping to solve real-world problems that are affecting an array of industries while working hand-in-hand with a world-class team, is something that I am genuinely looking forward to,” said Dayal.
“The marketing industry has evolved in leaps and bounds in the past number of years, but the resulting complexity now presents the ecosystem with a lack of transparency, trust, and convenience. These key problems can and will be addressed, it is just a matter of expertise and innovation, which is exactly what we at Aqilliz are offering.”
“I feel privileged to have been associated with some leading organizations in the past, each with their own unique strengths, but when the chance to help build Aqilliz from the ground up arose, I saw this as a once in a lifetime opportunity that I couldn’t let pass me by,” added Prateek.
