Robin Jacquet

Acting as Head of Compliance for Luo. I've set up their compliance department and integrated compliance into their operational processes. The aim is now to make sure the company grows while maintaining compliance with its AML-CTF obligations, and show doing business in Africa is an opportunity, and not just a risky activity to be avoided. --------- Luo is a fintech building real-time cross-border payment infrastructure for Francophone Africa. The platform helps African businesses make international payments faster and more affordably. The company was founded in 2024 at Entrepreneur First and raised $4 million in seed funding from top investors, including the co-founder of Monzo and leading experts in cross-border payments.
