Ishan Dan
CEO & Founder at RegenX
Ishan Dan is founder and chief executive of RegenX, a Melbourne fintech that uses asset tokenisation to open climate-positive and alternative investments, such as renewable infrastructure, private credit and property, to a wider range of investors. Before RegenX, he spent more than 15 years in finance and investment, including roles in wealth management and investment newsletter writing. RegenX built its tokenisation platform in partnership with ASX Synfini and went through the Startupbootcamp Australia accelerator.
