Jennifer Lassiter is Head of Digital Assets for the Americas and Europe at Standard Chartered, where she leads the Bank’s work at the intersection of strategy, innovation, and global financial infrastructure.
She focuses on how large, regulated institutions can adapt to new technology, changing client needs, and evolving policy expectations while continuing to operate safely and at scale. Jennifer works across business, policy, risk, and technology teams to turn complex change into practical strategies for institutional markets.
Her perspective is that the next era of finance will be led not by technology alone, but by institutions with the discipline to turn change into trust, scale, and tangible impact.
Roundtable Room 2, Ground Floor
Open
As digital assets continue to expand across global markets, public and private sector stakeholders face growing complexities around operations, regulations, and scalability. Some advocate for a single global ledger, while others favour consistent standards to be applied across networks to enable seamless interoperability.
This roundtable will examine these perspectives and explore what it will take to build a scalable digital asset ecosystem on institutional-grade infrastructure.
