Standard Chartered

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.
