Stephane is CEO and founder of Jiko, a startup that makes Treasurys bankable by combining its bank, brokerage, and lightning-fast technology together to create safe banking -- from storage to payments -- at infinite scale.

Prior to founding Jiko, Stephane finished his Caltech PhD in applied and computational mathematics and joined Goldman Sachs to help solve massive problems during the 2008 financial crisis. What he saw under the hood inspired him to imagine a safer, more efficient, and universal banking network than he would find out of Wall Street or in the theories of Web3.

Headquartered in San Francisco with offices in New York City and Reykjavík, Jiko is backed by Upfront Ventures, Airbus Ventures, and others.
