Chris D'costa
Founder Totem at Totem Live Accounting
Switzerland
Summary
👤
SeniorChris D'costa is a founder and seasoned SAP BI architect turned blockchain entrepreneur based in Switzerland, with nine years in leadership roles and over two decades of hands-on systems experience. He founded Totem Live Accounting and previously launched Meek Inc.'s ambitious Global Corporate Currency Initiative aiming to replace legacy after-the-fact accounting with real-time, licence-free corporate currencies on Avalanche. His background spans large enterprise SAP BW/BO implementations for companies like Monsanto, Carrefour, ExxonMobil and GSK, where he delivered automated, auditable reporting and performance-critical data pipelines. Chris blends deep financial systems knowledge with blockchain design—introducing multiplex transaction types and deterministic exchange mechanisms inspired by IMF SDRs—to rethink accounting primitives. He has a track record of turning complex regulatory and audit requirements into robust automated solutions, and oddly enough started his career in creative design, which informs his pragmatic, user-focused approach to technical products.
