What is your company, your role, and why did you join the GSF?
Broadridge is a global technology leader with the trusted expertise and transformative solutions that help our clients—and the broader financial services industry—operate, innovate, and grow. We power investing, governance, and communications for our clients by driving operational resiliency, elevating business performance, and enhancing investor experiences. Our technology and operations platforms support the daily trading of more than $10 trillion in securities globally.
As Chief Product and Strategy Officer at Broadridge, I oversee enterprise product management and corporate strategy. This includes leading our product operations, enterprise platforms, AI, and innovation, while partnering with Broadridge’s senior leadership on business development, long-term strategic initiatives, and other growth-oriented efforts.
We joined the Global Synchronizer Foundation (GSF) as a premier member because we believe the Canton Network represents a major advancement in achieving interoperability across blockchain solutions in financial services.
Why are you excited about the Canton Network for your business?
The Canton Network enables us to build innovative solutions that harness the potential of blockchain—while maintaining the privacy and confidentiality requirements essential for financial institutions operating within regulated environments. It unlocks a new level of interoperability and collaboration among ecosystem participants, which is foundational for digital transformation in capital markets.
What are you building, and how will it create value for the ecosystem?
In capital markets, we are particularly focused on optimizing trading and connectivity, simplifying post-trade processes, and driving innovation. A core part of our work is expanding the capabilities of our Distributed Ledger Repo (DLR) solution, which already helps clients realize cost efficiencies and increased collateral velocity. DLR tokenizes real-world securities to enable more efficient workflows, transforming key capital markets infrastructure.
With over $2 trillion in monthly volume, DLR enhances liquidity and capital efficiency through the use of tokenized collateral and smart contracts that mutualize transaction workflows. Two key use cases are:
-
Intraday Repo, which helps firms better manage intraday liquidity and optimize the use of cash and collateral.
-
Sponsored Repo, where DLR simplifies the process and enables more cost-effective compliance with upcoming U.S. Treasury clearing requirements.
We are currently working with a client to issue a tokenized bond on the Canton Network. Once issued, we plan to use these tokens as collateral on DLR, further enhancing cross-platform integration and efficiency.
We believe connectivity with the broader Canton tokenization ecosystem will be instrumental in driving the liquidity needed to support adoption of next-generation digital infrastructure in capital markets. We’re excited to support both the continued growth of DLR and the broader Canton Network ecosystem.
