ArtículosIMTC

Leon is a seasoned expert and business leader in the payments, remittances and money transfer industry. He has over 25 years hands-on experience and since 2007 has led DMA, Developing Markets Associates, a development consultancy based in the UK that provides a broad range of services that helps to mobilise funds into developing markets.

Leon is very active in Mobile Payments policy design and data collection, research into remittance market trends, pricing and new product development, consumer remittance price and quality comparison, financial literacy programmes to remittance receivers, diaspora outreach and diaspora investment analysis and programme design.

IMTC AFRICA CHAIR

As the Chair of IMTC AFRICA 2017 taking place on September 20 to 22, 2017, Leon will develop the Conference Agenda which will cover all aspects of money transfer & cross-border payments to Africa and within Africa, with panels & round table discussions to share knowledge, insights & information and develop partnerships that will expand distribution networks and develop new products & services.

Leon stated: “I believe that for AFRICA the coming IMTC in Kenya is very important not only because of the progress of mobile financial services development throughout the continent but the increasing connectivity of banking, mobile, online, payment and remittance platforms that will undoubtedly benefit the end-users in the region. Money Transfer Networks in Europe, North America and Asia are looking at Africa as a model for the development of new products & services. We are developing a program that will bring a whole range of stakeholders together for frank discussions, forming partnerships and sharing of best practice. I am confident that the event will meet everyone’s expectations.“.
