CryptoSlate recently had the opportunity to chat with Paul Claudius, the Chief Operating Officer of DIA. Paul is a serial entrepreneur and financial markets expert.

Paul started his professional career as part of BNP Paribas Corporate Development in New York City and AXA Private Equity in Frankfurt am Main.

Paul has advised and invested in multiple start-ups in health tech, IOT and e-commerce.

At DIA, he manages the business development and strategy.
