Philip Akinyeye is a senior risk executive with over a decade of experience spanning global financial institutions and regulated fintech, including Citigroup, Barclays, HSBC, and Coinbase. Based in London, he currently serves as Chief Risk Officer and Board Executive Director at Coinbase's FCA-regulated UK entity, where he built the risk function from the ground up. His expertise spans operational risk, fraud, financial crime, and regulatory governance, developed across both traditional banking and the fast-moving world of crypto and digital assets. At the intersection of these two worlds, Philip brings a practitioner's understanding of how fraud journeys evolve across ecosystems, how liability frameworks struggle to keep pace with organised, cross-platform scams, and what meaningful accountability actually requires from institutions, platforms, and regulators alike. Known for directness and a willingness to challenge orthodoxy, he brings both the regulatory depth and the real-world operational experience to ask the questions that matter most.
