He brings with him a strong network in the startup ecosystem across the region thanks to his connections with funding platforms, venture capital firms, accelerators, angel groups, large-and-medium-size corporations and private equity. As such, we think he’s a perfect fit for Lattice80 and look forward to working with him closely in future.”

Vinay said: “I’m delighted to join Lattice80’s advisory board. Through my years in the industry, I have developed a deep understanding of the financial services sector and deal making experience across capital markets, lending and trade finance, corporate finance, risk management, as well as fixed income and derivative markets.”

“With strong skills in managing complex businesses, I bring with me a critical understanding of how to build ‘business value’. With this senior leadership experience and perspective, I hope to be in an excellent position to provide strategic insight and advice that will serve Lattice80 and its various upcoming companies in the fintech space.”
