In terms of blockchain speakers, Amber Baldet offers unparalleled insight. Her time as a program lead at JP Morgan led to a breadth of perspectives, from working with investment banks, central banks, Fortune 100s, and corporations, to exposure with startups, cypherpunks, hackers, and hardcore blockchain developers. “I have a relatively unique view on where we are going,” Baldet explains.
Today, Amber Baldet is the CEO of blockchain start-up Clovyr. Think of it as an app store for various, competing approaches to blockchains, helping consumers, developers, and businesses explore blockchain-based, decentralized technologies. Prior to the startup world, she led JP Morgan’s Blockchain Center of Excellence—one of Wall Street’s first high-profile initiatives to harness blockchain technologies. There, she helped develop Quorum, which “has since become one of the most popular places for corporations and governments to start building blockchain projects” (Times). In March of 2019, Baldet was a Featured Speaker at Austin’s SXSW Festival, where she talked about how to “bridge the divide between Wall Street and the crypto sets.”
