Ambre Soubiran is the chief executive of one of crypto's most essential data startups, Kaiko. A mathematician by training, Soubrian left an analyst job at HSBC for the crypto industry, predicting that blockchain would reinvent banking. The Chicago-native living in Paris is the latest to take CoinDesk Confidential, a survey not like many others.

Soubrian is a speaker at the Consensus festival in Austin, Texas.
