Humaniq, a UK-based blockchain financial platform offering financial inclusion solutions for the unbanked, announced on Wednesday it appointed a new CEO, Dinis Guarda, and also 20 members to its global advisory board. Sharing details about the appointments, Alex Fork, President and co-Founder of Humaniq, stated:
“Humaniq is a disruptive tech platform innovation for good. We are a solution to a global problem. More than half the world lives on less than $2.50 a day and more than 80 percent of the world’s population lives in countries where income differentials are widening. Humaniq will help reverse these trends and bring people out of poverty by giving them banking tools that are easy to understand. Humaniq will provide liquidity for entrepreneurial ventures via loans, online work and crypto-financing as well as helping to create new opportunities in the digital economy, locally, nationally and internationally. With the appointment of our new CEO we are ready to capitalize on these opportunities immediately.”
Humaniq reports that Guarda is an entrepreneur and author with a strong background in international management, blockchain and financial inclusion, who has previously founded the successful ventures Ztudium, intelligenthq.com, and Tradingfloor.com. Guarda shared:
“We strongly believe that the heart, humanity, and experience represented on this team will be the driving force behind Humaniq’s success. We have already raised over $3M for our token sale in just three days. With our strong team and advisory board as our foundation, we look forward to building the new world of financial inclusion, industry 4.0 and education together with Humaniq.”
