Fintech Mover & Shaker of the Year

This award is given to the individual whom Juniper believes has demonstrated the capabilities to become a driving force in his or her sector, initiating change and influencing the direction of events; in essence, a primary decision-maker at the heart of the ecosystem.

Jessi Baker Jessi Baker collects Juniper’s first Fintech Mover & Shaker Award
“We live in the age of information, and yet, we as consumers continue to be disconnected from where our products come from and how they are made,” said Jessi Baker, CEO of Provenance. “We believe that in the future transparency will be a fundamental requirement for success; consumers want to support businesses that impact the environment and society positively. This means brands and global businesses will likely fail if their customers cannot easily access product information. This, for us, makes transparency in the supply chain crucial. It's great to be nominated for this award that recognises our work to try and drive that movement.”

Jessi Baker collects Juniper Research’s first Fintech Mover & Shaker Award

"We live in the age of information, and yet, we as consumers continue to be disconnected from where our products come from and how they are made. We believe that in the future transparency will be a fundamental requirement for success; consumers want to support businesses that impact the environment and society positively. This means brands and global businesses will likely fail if their customers cannot easily access product information. This, for us, makes transparency in the supply chain crucial. It's great to be nominated for this award that recognises our work to try and drive that movement."

Jessi Baker, CEO of Provenance

IBM triumphs in Best Blockchain Platform category

"IBM has devoted significant expertise to the advancement of enterprise blockchain with the goal of spurring adoption and delivering proven results across the marketplace. We're proving in areas as diverse as supply chain, trade finance, transportation, healthcare and government that blockchain can be used as the new operating system of trust as it transforms business processes. This is an important recognition of IBM's accomplishments in creating the first enterprise grade blockchain platform and our ongoing support for an open source, openly governed approach to blockchain through the Hyplerledger Project. As our client's networks continue to grow and scale, we look forward to driving even more advancements in areas such as governance models, flexible architecture and interoperability."

Marie Wieck, GM, IBM Blockchain

Finacle takes Best Blockchain Deployment in Banking & Payments Award

"This award is a testimony to our pursuit to automate inter-organization payments processes with blockchain. Finacle Payments Connect is a blockchain-based solution that enables real-time payments processing on a permissioned network. It helps banks automate payments business within their corresponding banking relationships to drive operations excellence and superior customer experience. For instance, in an award-winning pilot, two leading banks reduced their international remittance time to 36 seconds by putting their remittance transactions on the Finacle Payment Connect blockchain network. Recognition of our pioneering work towards re-imagining business with blockchain based solutions is deeply encouraging."
