Arjun Jayaram

Arjun Jayaram is the Founder and CEO of Baton Systems, a San Francisco-based fintech company rebuilding post-trade infrastructure for the world's largest financial institutions. A serial technologist who previously co-founded Compass Labs (acquired by Yahoo) and held roles at Twitter and Dwolla, Jayaram identified a stubborn problem in the financial plumbing - that moving digital assets across different ledgers was the real bottleneck, not the digitization of assets themselves. Under his leadership, Baton's platform now processes nearly $30 billion in daily transaction value for seven of the nine largest western banks, enabling real-time settlement and intraday liquidity management without requiring institutions to replace their core systems.
