Arnaud Blandin is a foremost global authority on the institutionalisation of digital assets, blockchain technology, and the digital transformation of capital markets. With a formidable background that bridges traditional financial services (TradFi) and the rapidly expanding ecosystem of decentralised finance (DeFi), he delivers proprietary insights and strategic frameworks to C-suite executives, central banks, and tier-one financial institutions worldwide.
Having held senior leadership positions across institutional sales and trading within leading crypto market makers and tier-one technology consultancies, Arnaud possesses a rare, dual-sided perspective on financial innovation. His career is characterised by his ability to demystify complex market structures and pioneer new asset classes. He advises global stakeholders on the regulatory landscape, liquidity provision, and the infrastructural shifts required to securely adopt digital assets at an institutional scale.
“I had the pleasure of working with Arnaud as he supported Bioceanor in developing a detailed and thoughtful impact strategy. Arnaud brings a rare ability to understand and analyze projects from a 360° perspective, with a strong and insightful focus on AI-related challenges. His deep knowledge of various impact frameworks was invaluable in helping us position ourselves and approach our strategy from a new perspective. Beyond the audit and strategic work, Arnaud truly listened to our needs. As a result, our impact plan has become more than just a reporting tool—it is now an integral part of our daily team management. I highly recommend Arnaud to any organization looking to structure or elevate its impact strategy with clarity, relevance, and a forward-thinking approach.”
“Arnaud is a visionary strategist and grounded practitioner in the sustainability space. His unique ability to connect systems thinking, cutting-edge tech, and human insight has been key to our students' learning. He is able to bring clarity to complexity and inspire students to a greater purpose through valuable practical experience.”
“I have the pleasure of working with Arnaud for 4 years when he started up Intalio for the Asia Pacific Region in Singapore. He has strong entrepreneurship and grew Intalio from zero into a reputable company in the region. He is able to close major enterprise deals against bigger players in the market. He has great mentorship and coaching skill and I learned a lot from him. Great entrepreneur, mentor, coach and salesman!”
“There are times in a startup life where your vision deserves new eyes. Arnaud and Julien came in at the right time and brought their deep expertise of the 'scale-up' world and methodologies to the table. Not only did they help us rethink our positioning and roadmap, they also gave us frameworks to better understand our market, emphasize our secret sauce and strengthen our desire to pursue our quest for new territories to play with. A direct result of the work we did was to land a significant contract with one of the largest companies in France. We will continue consulting with them as we grow.”
“I had the pleasure to work with Arnaud at Intalio and Stoic. Arnaud is in a unique position to grasp value propositions and make the best out of them. Arnaud has worn a thousand hats: developing XML parsers in Silicon Valley (Java StaX), creating startups in ASEA, executing M&A for VC firms, raising funds from VCs and government agencies, managing sales, R&D and Operations, helping everyone else around him as an insider or as an outsider. Arnaud always fits in and contributes ideas and actions with positive charisma grounded in his many experiences, his humane ethics and his network. When Arnaud leads one wants to follow and when he follows one wants to join.”
