The world is facing huge global challenges: Climate change, overpopulation, massive amounts of waste, worldwide pollution. We all know: something needs to change. And yet: We are all still too wrapped up in our own problems and goals. Companies are not yet ready to commit themselves completely to sustainability, because they also have to make a profit. Anthony Day of IBM says: We can change the world. Through networks that can ensure sustainability on the one hand and profits for companies on the other. So that our children can have a great world, too. And Blockchain can play an important role in this - how it can all happen, why it's important to him (and us), Anthony explains in this episode.
Anthony is a Partner in IBM's UK & Ireland Blockchain team. He leads digital transformation and business network initiatives for IBM and its clients, where Blockchain is one of the underlying technologies. His passion is the intersection of emerging technology and projects that can have a meaningful social or climate impact. With an education in Supply Chain Management and a professional background in Digital Strategy, Anthony focuses on helping his clients achieve growth, define scalable ecosystem strategies and launch new businesses powered by exponential technologies.
