Our Team

Justin Lee

Co-Founder

Justin has always been fascinated by how technology is reshaping the world of investing. From simplifying personal finance through apps to creating new opportunities like cryptocurrency, various technologies have transformed how we invest and manage our wealth.

This curiosity led Justin to create Chain Speech—a platform designed to break down complex financial topics and highlight the ways technology is intertwined with the modern financial landscape. He hopes that Chain Speech will help others understand the evolving nature of finance and inspire them to explore the opportunities it presents.

Ivan Mikhaylov

Co-Founder

Ivan aspires to work in the financial sector. However, due to the current transition to Decentralized Finance (DeFi), this sector is going to look very different when people his age finish university.

This is why he created Chainspeech — a financial blog about the effect of blockchain on the world economy and finance in general. His mission is to educate people on the opportunities and new developments surrounding this area.

Blockchain is far more than just NFTs and Bitcoin and knowing its potential is vital to anyone’s future career success.

Joshua Ooi

Co-Founder

The way in which the financial world has changed over the last few decades has especially intrigued Joshua. With the rise of online banking, mobile phones, cryptocurrencies, blockchain and the general financial technology industry, it had always been his vision to create a platform where he could share information on the changes in technology and finance.

This is why he created Chain Speech: a platform where news and explanations about the financial world are broken down and simplified. He hopes that this platform will help inform people about how technology and finance are not separate entities and show how they are closely linked as they often work with each other.

Marcus Tejero Mehmi

Co-Founder

The rapidly evolving intersections of economics, finance, and artificial intelligence have captivated me, especially as these fields reshape our understanding of the future. From transformative advancements in automation and machine learning to the shifting landscapes of digital currencies and decentralised finance, I’ve created this platform as a space where these topics are explored, simplified, and made accessible to everyone.

I launched this website with a mission to foster inclusivity and provide a voice for those who might not have access to traditional publishing avenues, like school websites or magazines. Here, I welcome fresh perspectives, offering aspiring writers and thinkers a stage to share their insights into how AI will shape the future of the economy. My hope is that this platform becomes a collaborative community, bridging knowledge gaps and sparking conversations about the profound ways technology and finance intertwine to create the economy of tomorrow.
