Exclusive: Andrew Saks joins The People’s SCE as Head of Marketing
FNG Exclusive… Andrew Saks has joined The People’s SCE as Head of Marketing.
Mr Saks is an experienced and prominent industry professional with over 30 years of experience within the High Technology Sector, with emphasis on financial technology. He joins The People’s SCE from ETX Capital (now OvalX), where he served as Head of Research and Analysis.
Prior to ETX Capital, Mr Saks spent more than five years at the helm of Forex and fintech news website FinanceFeeds, which was sold in 2020. Prior to that, he was managing editor at Leaprate. Between December 2012 and March 2014, Mr Saks was an editor at Forex Magnates (now, Finance Magnates).
Early in his career, he founded and established software services consultancy over a long period, taking the company from a startup to £500,000 per annum turnover with 4 staff.
Mr Saks spoke to FX News Group earlier today and shared his excitement about his new job:
“It is an absolutely opportune and ideal time to be joining The People’s SCE in this senior management position.
The merchant services sector is ripe for disruptive technology which provides small to medium-sized businesses around the world with a fully democratized, decentralized network which empowers them to develop and expand their remit and be more efficient. Companies are used to long processing times, expensive transaction costs, and being beholden to large corporations led by shareholder interests instead of customer interests. We aim to change that for the better.
I have all my career been an advocate of fair and proper business conduct in the FinTech industry, and that should be the whole ethos behind FinTech itself – to further the cause of user-friendliness and modernize the way things work. Therefore, it is a pleasure to be an instrumental part of this remarkable project and to work with some of the top visionaries within the decentralized financial services world.”
The People’s SCE is a fully democratized ecosystem for merchants and vendors, as well as consumers, in which no central organization can take control. It’s a DGO, decentrally governed organization in which each user takes part ownership yet cannot have more than one share .
The People’s SCE, a Decentrally Governed Organization (DGO) manages products and services built on top of the eCredits Blockchain and provides a legal framework for consumers and regional businesses to actively participate in decisions about the future of eCredits.
