Bettina Warburg

A thought-leader in the emerging blockchain space, Bettina Warburg is co-founder of Animal Ventures (AV), an agency of innovation that partners with other “Animals” to create, implement, and invest in some of the most exciting and transformative technologies on the planet, such as blockchain, Artificial and Augmented Intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and other digital platforms.

Leading the blockchain practice at AV, Bettina partners her network with governments, enterprises, and Fortune 500 companies to help drive the global commercialization and integration of blockchain technology.

She is the executive producer of a new show called Tech on Politics, interviewing some of today’s greatest minds in technology, media, venture capital, and government about opportunities emerging from technological and political partnerships.
