Delta Capita hires Alan Philpot as CPO
The appointment follows the launch of the company’s distributed ledger services venture in April of this year, which was backed by its acquisition of distributed ledger technology from London-based blockchain firm SETL, which is part of the Colendi Group. The services support asset and collateral tokenisation, digital custody and identity, and settlement optimisation, among other features.
Philpot, who previously served as head of custody and market infrastructure for SETL between November 2018 and July 2023, has been brought in to manage the offering, and to coordinate the strategy and deployment of future Delta Capital products in collaboration with the company’s product management and strategic partnerships teams.
Prior to his previous role at SETL, Philpot also held the position of managing principal at technology consultancy Capco between June 2015 and November 2018, as well as head of post trade strategy and industry utilities at the investment banking arm of Barclays between June 2013 and March 2015.
Speaking on his appointment, Philpot confirms that “the next chapter of capital markets and technology innovation is here”, and that he aims to deliver “fresh new solutions that will transform the way that our clients work and how they service their customers”.
Adding to this, Joe Channer, CEO of Delta Capita, describes Philpot’s “extensive market knowledge and decades of experience working in financial services” as “highly valuable” to its venture into distributed ledger services and its attempt to “reinvent the financial services value chain”.
