How Sean is building a better working world

“I’m passionate about rewiring the financial system, so that capital flows are redirected to deliver the transition to the low-carbon economy in a socially inclusive way. I’m proud to have delivered electronic payment services to underbanked communities and facilitated billions of Euros in the funding of green and socially inclusive projects. In my role, I deliver new funding mechanisms while challenging conventional thinking to accelerate transition finance.”
