#63 How ConsenSys is Helping to Mainstream Blockchain – Lory Kehoe

Lory Kehoe has scaled ConsenSys Ireland from a single employee a year ago to 42 today to meet the demands of the company’s broad client base.  In our conversation he shares his background in strategy, explaining how Consensys, led by Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin, is leading the way in enterprise adoption of blockchain technologies.  He shares a number of notable projects including Kongo.im, which is a trade finance company, as well as the EU Blockchain Observatory and Forum which is focused on educating and informing policy.   Consensys is focused on leveraging the size and scale of the Ethereum community of developers and stakeholders, which is over 30X the size of the next largest blockchain project.  The company is working to realize the visions of companies as they look to take advantage of blockchain-enabled transformation from physical to digital, from illiquid to liquid assets, how to tokenize and sell previously illiquid, discrete assets in new ways.  Consensys Ireland is at the forefront of efforts in the EU.
