Damisa welcomes Nick Watkins as chairman of the board

By Jordan Lawrence, Co-Founder and CEO at Damisa, a B2B cross-border payment and settlement platform for emerging markets.

Damisa, a regulated cross-border payments company built on stablecoin rails, has appointed Nick Watkins as Chairman of the Board.

As Chairman, Watkins will advise Damisa’s leadership team and support its operational development as the company expands globally and prepares for a Series A funding round process, which will kick off later this year. 

Watkins brings more than 30 years of experience in finance and treasury across global financial institutions, including senior roles at Goldman Sachs, Partners Group and UBS. He spent almost nine years in senior management at Partners Group, most recently as Global Head of Service Provider Management.

Watkins is currently Chief Financial Officer at OCEAN and serves on the advisory board of Evoco AG.

“I am honoured to join Damisa as Chairman and work alongside such a talented team. I look forward to drawing on my experience across start-ups and global financial institutions to support the company during this next stage of growth. My ambition is for Damisa to become the standard for global B2B cross-border financial infrastructure.”

— Nick Watkins, Chairman of the Board, Damisa

With its core corridors now live, Damisa is scaling the regulated infrastructure that lets global businesses move money into and out of high-growth markets in hours, not days.

Jordan Lawrence, Co-Founder and CEO of Damisa, says Watkins brings the treasury, institutional finance and operational experience the company needs for this next phase.

“Nick has spent three decades working at the highest levels of global finance. He understands the rigour required to operate infrastructure at scale, as well as the discipline needed to do it well. His judgement and experience will be invaluable as we grow across our core markets and prepare for a Series A funding round. We are delighted to welcome him as Chairman.”

— Jordan Lawrence, Co-Founder and CEO, Damisa
