Jakub Zakrzewski is the Managing Director at Kraken, one of the world's largest and oldest cryptocurrency exchanges to buy and sell crypto online. This year, more than $1 billion worth of cryptocurrencies have been staked through Kraken’s staking service.
At Kraken, Jakub leads the company's strategic development in APAC. Previously, he was responsible for launching operations of a FinTech company, Revolut, in Singapore in 2019 and led its growth across the Asian markets.
After a small stint at KPMG in Poland, Jakub started at Lazada Group, where Jakub became the first employee of the company in Singapore and established the business intelligence and online marketing departments. In 2016, Lazada was acquired by Alibaba Group for US$1 billion.
In 2015, Jakub moved to Hong Kong to work for digital logistics startup Easyship (a 500 Startups portfolio company). There, Jakub headed the growth department, while joining again as one of the company's early employees.
In 2018, Jakub was listed in Forbes 30 under 30 in his home country Poland. He has also been recognized in the Top 100 Fintech Influencers in South-East Asia for two years consecutively.
Talk to Jakub about the latest Bitcoin trends, the challenges of launching Revolut across Asia, and how Kraken is shaping the digital banking industry.
We’re not a webinar. Nor are we an online course. NewCampus is a community learning experience—interactive, intimate and energising. You are not listening passively, you will be actively getting involved. Our sessions are designed so that you actually get to interact with both the speaker, but also more importantly with your new peers. They will be your future collaborators, clients and co-founders.
All our learnings formats—workshops, mentoring sessions, tiny conferences, dialogues and more—are designed with these principles in mind. There will always be a chance for you to share ideas in a small group, practice newly minted skills and get real-time feedback.
A stable wifi connection, a quiet well-lit corner and some headphones. After confirming your spot, you will receive instructions in your email about how to join this session via Zoom. You will also need to be ready to switch on your laptop camera and microphone to interact with your fellow colearners, who will need to be able to hear and see you.
NewCampus works best for:
Many members are in the first 5-15 years of their career, but our community is diverse and sees many in different age groups.
Most colearners join in from the Asia Pacific region which our session times work best for, but we are seeing new people from Europe and the US every week.
You can choose to purchase a ticket, or book your spot as a member.
