Building for the long-term in Blockchain | Sendi Young, European MD, Ripple Searching for Mana with Lloyd Wahed

Sendi Young is the European Managing Director for global crypto payments leader Ripple, with
an extensive background across payments with traditional corporate powerhouses. Growing up
in Istanbul in the 1980s, Sendi’s background has helped her acclimatize to the volatility of the
crypto world, becoming accustomed to cycles of economic growth and rapid declines, sparking
her curiosity and passion for macroeconomics.

From here, Sendi built out expertise across global payments with marquee names, before
immersing herself in the world of blockchain, having recognised the pain points and pitfalls of
the traditional financial system. A “crypto gal” through and through, Sendi represents a
European and Global Crypto leader, providing invaluable technical insight into the crypto and
payments ecosystems, her love of the Argentine Tango and how she has risen to prominence.
