Senior🎓
Top SchoolSteven Hatzakis is a fintech entrepreneur and research leader with 20+ years in financial markets and eight years in senior product and research roles, currently serving as Global Director of Online Broker Research and Partner at Reink Media Group. He blends deep market expertise—licensed as a Series 3 CTA and experienced in FX, crypto, algorithmic trading and exchange connectivity—with product-first startup work as founder of ForexGPT and CEO of his advisory firm. Steven bridges traditional finance and AI-driven tools, having launched one of the first forex GPTs and contributed UX improvements to notable open-source projects like the widely used bip39 mnemonic tool. He’s a prolific advisor and ambassador across blockchain, standards and impact-token initiatives, and he pairs a hands-on technical appetite with a public-facing research voice that has referred billions in investor assets. Less obvious: his background spans both operational roles (from field administration to institutional partnerships) and frontier R&D, giving him rare perspective on compliance, execution, and product-market fit in regulated markets.
