Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolTristan Cole is a product leader and Forbes 30 Under 30 fintech entrepreneur with eight years’ experience building payment and financial inclusion products across emerging markets and global fintech firms. As co-founder of Sempo he designed blockchain-backed cash transfer systems deployed in nine countries, facilitating millions in aid and over a million annual payments while partnering with NGOs like Oxfam and Mercy Corps. He’s since transitioned to scale-stage product roles at Airwallex—owning a multi-billion dollar FX product—and now leads expansion and payments localisation as Product Owner at Revolut. Tristan combines hands-on technical instincts from early freelance web development with startup grit and investor-backed traction (Mozilla, SOSV, Blackbird, Startmate). He’s particularly skilled at translating complex regulatory and local-currency constraints into pragmatic product flows that drive adoption in low-infrastructure environments. Based in Dubai, he brings a rare blend of field-tested global product experience and a founder’s appetite for high-impact, mission-driven payments work.
