Ex-AIG Japan Strategist Norbert Gehrke joins TontineTrust

Former AIG Japan Strategist, ex-Goldman Sachs Managing Director, Founder of Tokyo FinTech Meetup & Blockchain advocate takes on an Advisory role

BVI (May. 8, 2018) — Ahead of it’s TON Token Sale, TontineTrust today announced the appointment of Norbert Gehrke as an Advisor.

In addition to more than 20 years of management experience and senior leadership roles in financial services organizations including AIG, Goldman Sachs and Barclays Investment Bank, Norbert has for several years been an active investor and advisor in the fintech & the blockchain ecosystem.

“Norbert brings a wealth of experience and insight, which will not only help drive us to produce a superior product but coupled with his deep understanding of Japan, its culture and needs will also enable us to tailor our tontines to best serve this key region. In addition, as a highly-respected member of the Asian fintech community, he is already demonstrating an exceptional ability to connect us with some of the leading financial services innovators in this region.”

— Dean McClelland, CEO & Founder, TontineTrust

As the founder of the Tokyo FinTech Meetup, a community of close to 1,500 individuals, part of the IOTA Evangelist Network and an Adjunct Lecturer at New York University’s Tokyo Campus, Norbert enjoys applying his extensive technological understanding to help companies apply transformative technologies.

“ Let’s drive true business model innovation; simply applying blockchain to existing business models, business processes and industry value chains can drive cost savings, of course, and those are important to incumbents, but the true promise of blockchain and distributed ledger technology is the re-configuration of industries. TontineTrust offers a unique opportunity to truly drive disruption in annuities and retirement savings.”
— Norbert Gehrke

We welcome Norbert as a valuable addition to the team. His extensive financial services experience, complemented by his deep technological and market knowledge will play an important role in helping TontineTrust continue to develop and innovate in this fast evolving industry.
