Meet the Macropod Team
Building the infrastructure for a more open, efficient, and user-controlled financial system
AUDM is a programmable Australian dollar stablecoin, fully backed with AUD reserves. Australians deserve faster payments, cheaper value movement, and more utility.
Hop on chain
Our mission is to put control of money — and how people move it — into their own hands by delivering a stable, compliant, and user-friendly on-chain payment token.
Setting the pace
Our vision is to become the benchmark for trusted stablecoins — proof that payment tokens can be both safe and simple.
We’ve done the hard yards.
Backed by real innovation and experience, Macropod is built for confidence by people who know the terrain.
From boardrooms to blockchains, I’ve spent 35 years steering teams, markets, and strategy across global finance. After leading trading and derivatives at NAB and Deutsche Bank, I now focus on shaping the future of money as CEO of Macropod.
I bring deep regulatory experience, a global lens, and a clear eye for what’s next: building teams, navigating change, and helping the digital economy grow.
I specialise in making complexity manageable - aligning legal, risk, and operations so teams can move fast without breaking things.
With two decades in top-tier firms, banks, and hedge funds across Asia-Pacific, I’ve led product launches, built risk and compliance infrastructure, wrangled M&A deals and nurtured start-ups. I bring a steady hand, a global view, and a firm belief: the future of money is digital.
I started out studying the birth of the universe: now I help shape the future of money. From physics to finance, I’ve gone from decoding particles to redesigning products, markets, and money itself.
My career has spanned global banking roles at ABN AMRO and NAB, where I led the launch of Australia’s first bank-issued stablecoin. Today, as CTO of Catena Digital, I help institutions bridge the gap between legacy systems and blockchain infrastructure, making sure the future doesn’t just arrive, but lands smoothly.
