Brenton has been a principal figure in introducing blockchain technology and cryptocurrency to Africa. He was among the youngest members to join the IFWG, a South African Reserve Bank initiative, to regulate cryptoassets. As one of only 30 industry stakeholders in South Africa, he has actively contributed to the South African National Blockchain Alliance (SANBA) and the Crypto Asset Association of SA (CAASA).
In his two-year stint as one of the African leaders for Binance, one of the world’s largest Fintech companies, Brenton was instrumental in launching and growing their presence in Sub-Saharan and East Africa.

Let’s decarbonize!
In 2020 I founded decarb.earth, an ecosystem aligning the stakeholders of decarbonization via smart contract financing. To get here was quite the journey… At the initial stage of my career I engrossed myself in learning languages and understanding different cultures while working in international hubs of business and commerce. My academic background lies in Operations Research, Investment Analysis and Economics; culminating in a master’s thesis on effective funding.
After graduating I worked as an analyst for the Nielsen Company, before entering the world of entrepreneurship and moving to Singapore via co-founding a tech start-up. During these two years it became apparent to me how important access to strategic investors is; and after receiving an offer to enter the world of private banking in Dubai, I took the chance to nurture a strong network of high net worth individuals before finding the opportunity I had been searching for.
For decades humankind has been negatively impacting the environment and thereby themselves. Inspired by the versatility of the hemp plant I entered the hemp industry in Switzerland. Paying extra towards hydrogen energy for our facility, I thought “wouldn’t it be great if there was a platform showcasing those enterprises running on renewables?” That line of thinking led me to decarb.earth – where we leverage off the best technology has to offer to optimize the funding of clean energy projects for enterprises of all sizes.

Summarily, I have a diversified experience and track record in successful management of start-ups here in Africa, with four years in the conception, implementation and management of marketing and business development strategies. I’ve assumed different roles in the insurance, healthcare and gaming sectors.
This is my third year in uninterrupted marketing of digital gaming solutions with earlier experience in EMR, Fintech, Regtech, Insurance and healthcare technologies. I always quote the experience with this Dublin based tech firm called Vitro Software International as the most amazing; not only because that’s where I got my first exposure to the marvels of technology but also because that was my first opportunity to participate in rolling out a start-up business in Africa. The training I received in project management, marketing and tech sales is still vital till date.
I joint the gaming sector in 2018 as Africa Project Manager for a group of British investors, helping them to secure licenses in several countries. I built strategic partnerships for them with government agencies and local consultants and played a lead role in stakeholder management. I rolled out both land-based and online operations for them in Cameroon as Country Manager; opening betting shops, liaising with third party suppliers and partners, and providing support to marketing operations including brand building and CRM. They operated for two years and wound down the business.
The most challenging part of this experience was integration of payment solutions for both online and off line operations. In fact, working with telcos back then was a herculean endeavor due to administrative bottlenecks and unfriendly due diligence processes. Mobile money penetration level was still very low back then and cuts from aggregators were generally deemed unaffordable; especially for new entrants. However, I enjoyed that experience and today I’m delighted to add my voice to conversations about “Optimizing payment processing in the African market”

My name is Russell Wain and I’m the Senior Sales Manager at Pawapay, I have been working across Africa for over six years in the payment space and have a vast amount of knowledge on payments, USSD and telecoms. I have been working with the betting sector for over 6 years and have worked with clients ranging from start-up to tier 1 betting providers across Africa and the globe.
PawaPay is a Mobile Money payments provider operating across 12 different African countries including Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Ghana, DRC, Malawi, Zambia, Benin, Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire and Senegal. We offer a single API to our merchants to allow them to connect to us across the world for Mobile Money solutions across Africa. Mobile Money is the dominant digital payment channel in Sub Saharan Africa and continues to grow at a huge rate year on year. If you are looking to launch across Sub Saharan Africa then connecting to multiple countries with multiple Mobile Network providers can be time-consuming and very complex and using a company like PawaPay can take all of the stress and technical resource issues away.
In my personal life, I have been married for 11 years and have two wonderful girls ages 7 and 5. They take up most of my time but when I’m not with them I enjoy gaming, playing golf and supporting my football team Aston Villa either at Villa Park or on the television. My family and I enjoy going for walks, swimming and enjoy exploring nature as a whole. I also enjoy traveling to faraway places like New Zealand, Cuba and Malawi to name just a few.
I have always wanted to help people see the positives and benefits of working across Africa. Africa is such a wonderful and amazing continent, the people, the culture and also the innovation of technology are truly amazing to witness on a daily basis. Some of the technology is far ahead of the western world and it makes me wonder why we haven’t implemented this technology over in the UK. I believe Africa is a continent to be proud to work in or visit and want to help other people realise this also. When I visited Nairobi for the first time many years ago people were telling me that it was a dangerous place but I found Kenya to be the complete opposite of this. The people are nice and welcoming and even when I tried Swahili for the first time the locals were happy to help me even though I didn’t pronounce ‘Asante Sana’ correctly.
If you have any questions or would like any advice I’m happy to assist in any way I can. I have a vast amount of knowledge and experience in this market that I hope you will utilize.
If you would like to reach out to me to speak about any mobile money opportunities that you are working on or if you have any questions please feel free to reach out to me at [email protected]

Spanos is also CEO of Blockchain Technologies Corp., which patented VoteWatcher, the first-ever blockchain voting platform. He is co-founder of Zap.org, which solves one of the biggest challenges for blockchain smart contracts, by allowing real-world data and events to trigger smart contract provisions for the first time.

Nick Spanos is co-founder of Zap.org, which solves one of the biggest challenges for blockchain smart contracts, by allowing real-world data and events to trigger smart contract provisions for the first time. Zap is a cross-chain multifunctional DeFi protocol. Users can swap tokens, earn rewards by validating oracle data feeds, and raise funds on customizable bonding curves on our platform. Spanos was featured in the recent Netflix documentary Banking on Bitcoin and is a sought-after speaker at blockchain events worldwide. He was also Founder of GetaRoom.com in 1997. In 1983 Nick Spanos attended New York Institute of technology where he studied computer science and AeroSpace Engineering.
In 2010, a Nick Spanos’s colleague wanted to buy a website domain name that he owned, and his friend convinced him to accept Bitcoin as payment. That was his first interaction with Bitcoin.
Since then, he becames increasingly involved with the technology. Near the end of 2013, he rented out a large event space for a Bitcoin-themed Christmas party, and they all decided to keep the place open as a center where people can assemble to learn about Bitcoin. Bitcoin Center NYC exists today as the first physical representation of this highly decentralized technology.
There is 2.5 billion unbanked people in the world who could add to the global economy that are unreachable. Bitcoin allows them to supply these people with the resources and the support to learn about this technology and send value to someone on the other side of the globe.
What also motivates Nick Spanos is the blockchain, and its ability to independently verify a multitude of transactions that originally required a room full of people to process. Bitcoin operates person to person. The benefits of a truly decentralized financial system are becoming increasingly apparent. There is no need of a third party or people in smoke-filled back rooms making decisions with the stored labor of your life. That’s what motivates Nick Spanos.

In his early 20s, David Meltzer quickly rose to the top of his game in the business world, becoming a millionaire. David lectured around the globe and saw rapid success in every business project he touched. But something was missing, and in his 30s as a multimillionaire, he went on a rapid downward spiral that ended in bankruptcy.

He has since emerged to realize even more rewarding heights of success in business and life.
David Meltzer has created a platform that uses four overarching principles—gratitude, empathy, accountability, and effective communication—and these principles have allowed him to communicate and mentor everyone from college students to c-suite executives. These four principles in everyday practice allow David to live by his mission to “make a lot of money, help a lot of people, and have a lot of fun.

Daven Michaels has been an entrepreneur since he was 15 years old, which is now more than 30 years. During this time, he discovered a business formula that he used to turn a variety of firms into incredibly profitable ventures, including a couple multimillion-dollar home runs.
Daven Michaels was very fortunate to have crossed paths with a very smart individual at a very young age. Daven took him under his wing, he mentored him and guided him. he finds himself applying those same lessons and principles even today.
In 2006 Daven started 123Employee, a virtual employee center in the Philippines. Daven started with one employee and today they have hundreds of employees operating from several managed facilities. In 2011 Daven used the power of public speaking to cast a wider net and reach even more entrepreneurs all over the world.
They began delivering higher-level marketing, business consulting, and coaching services the same year. In 2009, a friend advised that he teach others how to succeed, which created a larger desire to help others. This sparkled flame that has continued to burn for years.
However, teaching alone was not enough. Daven Michaels believes that talk is cheap these days. There are many people who teach business and marketing, yet very few understand the trials and tribulations business owners are facing in today’s economy.
