Team & Governance
Leadership, advisors, and the regulatory roadmap.
Building financial systems for AI requires more than good technology.
It requires strong leadership, clear decision making, and responsible oversight.
Catena is designed to grow safely by combining experienced people with clear rules and long-term planning.
Who the leadership is
Leadership includes the founders and core team guiding Catena’s vision and execution.
They are responsible for:
- Setting direction
- Making major decisions
- Ensuring safety and trust
- Balancing innovation with responsibility
Why leadership matters
AI native finance affects money, people, markets, and regulation.
Poor leadership creates risk. Strong leadership builds confidence.
How Catena approaches leadership
Catena’s leaders:
- Understand finance, AI, and infrastructure

Who advisors are
Advisors are experienced experts who guide the team.
They may come from:
- Finance
- Law
- Regulation
- Technology
- Risk and compliance
Why advisors matter
No single team knows everything. Advisors help:
- Spot risks early
- Shape better policies
- Avoid costly mistakes
- Build trust with partners
How Catena uses advisors
Catena listens to advisors when:
- Designing financial controls
- Expanding to new markets

Advisors strengthen decisions, not replace them.
What governance means
Governance is how decisions are made, reviewed, and enforced.
It defines:
- Who has authority
- How rules are set
- How conflicts are handled
- How changes are approved
Why governance matters
Without governance:
- Power is unclear
- Mistakes repeat
- Trust breaks
For finance, this is dangerous.
How Catena handles governance
Catena:
- Separates responsibilities clearly

This keeps the system stable and fair.
What a regulatory roadmap is
A regulatory roadmap is a plan for working with laws and regulators over time.
It shows:
- Where Catena operates today
- Where it plans to expand
- How compliance evolves
Why this matters
Regulation is not optional in finance. Ignoring it leads to shutdowns, fines, and loss of trust.
How Catena approaches regulation
Catena:
- Engages regulators early
- Designs systems they can understand
- Adapts as laws evolve
- Expands carefully and legally
Growth is planned, not rushed.
Together:
