A respected thought leader and dynamic innovator in international trade and supply chain finance, who relishes new opportunities to expand cross-border business, nothing impassions Tony more than to develop a new market or solution to fill a competitive need and deliver tangible success.
He spawned an industry by pioneering purchase order financing, helping successful international traders grow by financing inventory to fill available orders. Later, he developed buyer-led payables financing allowing creditworthy importers to buy goods on longer payment terms while paying their suppliers cash.
Tony’s end-to-end trade expertise grew from credit insurer, to buyer and seller of goods, to logistician and specialist supply chain financier, over 25 years. His international trade finance management experience ranges from startups to a division of a top-five U.S. bank.
Today, Tony believes in the power of technology to transform international trade and finance, aka Fintech. Cutting edge technology platforms from blockchain to Big Data and supply chain finance to B2B marketplaces have sought to leverage Tony’s experience and creative thinking to grow their businesses.
