You ’ re now running PIVOT , your own consultancy . Is there anything that you have in mind for PIVOT that you haven ’ t yet launched ? Every evening is , “ What more can we do ?” and every morning is , “ Okay , let ’ s make this happen .” If I look at Pivot ’ s footprint in the last eight years , we ’ ve moved from a one-member shop to six members . We ’ ve moved from one country to multiple countries . We ’ ve moved from the custody consulting to seven verticals . So , it ’ s always been , “ Let ’ s do a little more .” One thing I look forward to doing that I ’ ve been discussing with my peers and colleagues globally is invest more in education , training and mentoring . I think our industry needs a lot of skilled people across the globe . At the same time , we have a lot of skilled people who may have retired but have deep expertise and knowledge to offer . I think we should draw on that expertise as our industry will only grow bigger and diversify . At PIVOT we will keep collaborating and making change happen while being part of the change too . While business re-engineering , market advocacy and infrastructure development will continue to be our mainstays , we also plan to increase focus on DLT , blockchain and new markets .
