Jack Pouderoyen is Head of Digital Asset Strategy at Swift, a position he has held since November 2025. He leads Swift's digital assets strategy, guiding the company's approach to digital assets and digital currencies across the global banking sector. His team is responsible for the design and development of the Swift ledger and has previously led tokenized asset and blockchain interoperability efforts within the Swift community. Prior to this role, he held a Strategy and Innovation position at Swift from April 2023 to November 2025, and a Strategy role from November 2021 to August 2023.

Before joining Swift, Pouderoyen spent nearly a decade at Deutsche Bank, where he held roles including Vice President in Cash Management Sales within the transaction banking and treasury services business, and Analyst in CIB Finance. Between his time at Deutsche Bank and Swift, he worked as a Senior Consultant at Deloitte Consulting in Los Angeles from January 2019 to January 2021, and as a Consultant at Anderson Strategy Group, an MBA student-run consulting firm, from December 2018 to June 2019. He holds an MBA from the UCLA Anderson School of Management.

Nick Kerigan is Managing Director, Head of Innovation at Swift, a position he has held since July 2020. In this role, he is responsible for stewarding the innovation strategy, executing the portfolio of innovation sprints, and leading Swift's response to disruptive trends including digital currencies, tokenised assets, and new forms of money.

Prior to joining Swift, Kerigan was Managing Director for Future Payments at Barclays, where he focused on creating next-generation customer experiences and partnering with FinTechs. He has over 20 years of experience working in payments and banking across developed and emerging markets.

He serves as Chair of the Advisory Board at The Payments Association, a role he has held since January 2023.

Tom Zschach is a former Chief Innovation Officer at SWIFT, a role he held from January 2020 to April 2026, where he was responsible for driving innovation across the company and collaborating with the SWIFT community and partners to create new growth opportunities. Since April 2026, he has been operating independently as an architect and advisor in trust infrastructure for institutional finance and AI. At SWIFT, his public work on digital assets included leading the organisation's position on CBDC interoperability: he has stated that facilitating interoperability between different CBDCs will be critical to realising their potential, and warned that without coordination the global CBDC landscape risks fragmenting into isolated digital systems. SWIFT, in collaboration with Capgemini, conducted experiments to interlink domestic CBDC networks for cross-border payments, work conducted during his tenure. He also articulated SWIFT's distinction between permissionless digital assets, with which financial institutions do not typically engage due to their unregulated status, and permissioned digital assets such as CBDCs and tokenised assets, which regulated institutions including SWIFT were actively exploring.

Prior to SWIFT, Zschach served as Chief Information Officer at CLS Group from September 2014 to October 2019, where he sat on the Executive Management Committee. Before that, he was CIO at LCH.Clearnet from July 2011 to July 2014, contributing to the firm's technology strategy in clearing and settlement. Earlier in his career, he spent over twenty years in investment banking, including roles at Bank of America Merrill Lynch as Head of Rate and Currencies Technology, and at Barclays Capital as Managing Director in Technology and Global Head of Equities, Prime Brokerage and Client Technology. He holds a degree in Computer Science and Finance from California State University and an Executive MBA from TRIUM.

Wim Raymaekers is Digital Assets Strategy Director at Swift, a role he held from January 2025 to April 2026, focused on extending Swift's capabilities to new digital rails using distributed ledger technology and facilitating banks' movement of digital assets across interoperable networks. In this capacity, he led a coalition of 40+ banks along an MVP and strategic roadmap, and participated in an ECB workshop exploring CBDCs for unmet B2B payment needs. He ran DLT proof-of-concepts with R3 in 2019 and led what was at the time the largest industry project for real-time intraday liquidity optimisation, built on Hyperledger, in 2018. He also authored a paper in 2014 on Bitcoin, examining its disruption potential, challenges, and opportunities.

Raymaekers joined Swift in 1991. As GPI Programme Director from January 2015 to December 2020, he initiated and led Swift's Global Payments Innovation initiative through adoption by over 4,000 banks globally, including embedding a rulebook and tracking reference (UETR) across Swift payments and major payments market infrastructures. He defined a strategic vision titled "The digital transformation of cross-border payments" and managed a cross-functional team of 25+ FTE. From January 2020 to December 2024, he served as Global Head of Corporates Strategy, driving Swift's wholesale payments and cash management business with over 3,500 banks and 2,500 multinational corporates across 200+ countries, and managing working groups with 15 banks and 40+ corporates to shape ISO 20022 payments propositions.
