Jason Lau, Chief Information Security Officer of Crypto.com said, “I am humbled by HKBU’s professorship appointment and honoured to be on their industry advisory board to shape the fintech programme.

Kris Marszalek, Co-Founder and CEO of Crypto.com said, “We have a social responsibility to give back to our home market and to empower the next generation as we brace ourselves for a rapidly changing world.
