LATTICE80 appoints ANZ banker as advisor

Vinay Agrawal worked for ANZ Bank for eight years.

LATTICE80, the world's largest fintech hub grown by Singapore-based Marvelstone Group, appointed an ex-ANZ Bank managing director Vinay Agrawal to its board of advisors.

Agrawal worked in the Singapore arm of ANZ Bank for eight years. He was involved in the setup and significant growth of their platform in Asia Pacific. Prior to ANZ, Vinay worked in Standard Chartered Bank for 19 years. With these two institutions he worked in Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai, Bahrain and India.

LATTICE80 CEO Joe Seunghyun Cho said Agrawal will be advising LATTICE80 on a range of issues, primarily around how to expand the hub network globally to bridge Asian fintechs with the rest of the world.

"He brings with him a strong network in the startup ecosystem across the region thanks to his connections with funding platforms, venture capital firms, accelerators, angel groups, large-and-medium-size corporations and private equity. As such, we think he’s a perfect fit for LATTICE80 and look forward to working with him closely in future," he said.

Vinay is on the mentoring panel of Supply Chain Angels (SCA) and is a member of the Business Angel Network of South East Asia (BANSEA). He also serves as a Board Member & Hon. Treasurer for Heartware Network, a Singapore based not-for-profit charity that creates training and volunteer opportunities for youth. Since inception, it has engaged 59,000 youth volunteers.
