Ruth Williams
Principal, Blockchain & Digital Assets
BNY Mellon (Ireland)
I'm just a person that likes payments. Profoundly curious and a lifelong learner dedicated to the evolving digital finance landscape with a mission statement to match. I solve problems, build teams and deliver solutions at scale. Also, Ireland's only Forbes 30 Under 30 - Finance Honoree.
𝗠𝘆 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁: I strongly believe in creating an open, globally accessible financial system and digital economy. I'm incredibly proud to be a part of shaping the payment landscape of the future. I find myself thinking about the challenges of new fintech, payment solutions for unbanked individuals in developing economies and whether it is ethical or optimal.
I stand strongly for diversity, inclusion and equity - building an internal community is at the core of all the work I do.
𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹: I live and breathe cars, motorbikes and aircrafts so I am always looking for the next high-speed adventure. If there's another industry I follow as much as my own, it's the automotive sector. Feel free to reach out for F1, MotoGP and general auto conversations!
