Following today’s launch of Partior in Singapore, the blockchain-based interbank payment network founded by JP Morgan, DBS Bank and Temasek, we spoke to Jason Thompson, Partior’s CEO, about the startup’s roadmap and governance.
Less than a month into his role, Thompson’s focus is on what Partior can do in the next year. To that end, the current priority is in three areas.
