Executive Assistant at Interledger Foundation

About Interledger Foundation:

The Interledger Foundation is working towards a more equitable and creative global society through an open payments network that connects and benefits each human, regardless of identity, geography, or income. To drive this vision forward we:

• Connect a powerful community of web advocates and leaders.
• Promote creative and innovative solutions to connect humanity.
• Steward technology and standards work that advances open payment technology.

Financial exclusion and scarcity have often been a tool for oppression, discrimination, and systemic inequity. Interledger Foundation is committed to building financial systems that include voices that have been traditionally excluded. Our extraordinarily ambitious goal is decentralizing power, privilege, and financial control. Our vision is to make sending money on the web as easy as it is to send an email, paving the way for anyone to seamlessly buy, sell, or share with anyone else in the world.
