In this CTRMRadio, we talk to Tasja Botha, CEO of VAKT, about the transformation of the business over the last couple of years and where the firm and its solutions are headed. AI has empowered VAKT to find new markets, new users and free itself from the bonds of being a platform-play. Please do share, like and subscribe to this channel for more content like this. Our thanks to Tasja for appearing on CTRMRadio. VAKT was formed in 2018 by a group of oil majors, traders, and trade finance providers. Our founding partners recognised a problem that required collective action: the physical post trade process was reliant on manual, complex, repetitive and therefore error-prone processes. By coming together and conducting their post trade work on a blockchain-enabled platform, they saw that these problems could be solved, and that they could better protect the value of their trades. www.vakt.com
