Co-Founder, CEO
BaseFund
Robert White is the Chief Executive Officer and Cofounder of BaseFund, where he addresses the unmet need for fintech solutions tailored to multi-party transactions—an area often overlooked compared to payments, treasury, and other SaaS business models.
With a background in investment banking and a career spanning over $15 billion in transactions, Robert brings extensive expertise in bond elections, capital improvement plans, and financing strategies. As BaseFund's CEO, he applies this experience to innovate and manage the financial transaction platform for all capital transactions across all markets.
With increasing reports of cyber activity in the public finance industry as the war in the Middle East continues, our panel of experts will discuss the severity of what the market faces, what kinds of best practices for guarding against them exist – or should exist – and why all players in the industry need to coalesce around common goals to be more efficient in battling the threats.
From what to disclose and how to insure against threats and who pays the costs associated with them, all parties – issuers, underwriters, advisors, investors and trustees – need to better prepare for the expected onslaught of threats. It also signals the industry, and governments, need to become more efficient overall with managing the threats as part of day-to-day management.
