Rick Baker is a British entrepreneur, digital transformation strategist and thought leader specialising in Web3, tokenisation and institutional adoption. With 17+ years of experience across digital business, global education and marketing, and 8+ years working within Web3 and digital assets, Rick has built and launched ventures across the rapidly evolving blockchain ecosystem.   As founder of Tokenised Asset Academy™, Rick identified a critical barrier to the institutional adoption of tokenisation: while the technology and infrastructure are advancing rapidly, many organisations lack the regulatory understanding, governance, organisational capability and internal expertise required to implement tokenisation successfully.   To address this gap, Rick created IRAF™, the Institutional Readiness Assessment Framework™ — a proprietary methodology designed to make institutional readiness measurable, actionable and scalable. IRAF™ assesses organisations across the critical dimensions of tokenisation, combining structured readiness assessment, maturity scoring, gap analysis and AI-powered recommendations to help organisations understand where they are, what is missing and what needs to happen next.   Rick has developed Tokenised Asset Academy™ beyond traditional professional education into an institutional readiness platform, delivering online courses, in-person seminars, executive education and CPD-verified corporate training. He has established strategic relationships across the UK, UAE/GCC and Africa, working with organisations across tokenisation, Web3, education and financial services.   His work has received international recognition, including selection for the Web Summit ALPHA startup programme and multiple awards recognising innovation in blockchain, digital assets and education. Rick is also a speaker and writer on tokenisation, institutional readiness and the future of financial markets.   His long-term ambition is to establish institutional readiness as a recognised discipline and global standard for the tokenised economy helping bridge the gap between technological innovation and the institutions that will ultimately adopt it.

Donna Goldman is a Culinary Intuitive, Health Supportive Private Chef, mindfulness and sustainability coach, and the creator behind Recipes 4 Survival, a multimedia platform exploring mindful meals and sustainable living. With more than 26 years of professional culinary experience as a high-net-worth private chef, her perspective has been shaped by an extensive personal archive of recipes, techniques, and kitchen solutions that have stood the test of time. She believes that eating well should be both deeply pleasurable and practical—and that the choices made in the kitchen can ripple outward into the way we live and consume. Donna’s work extends beyond the plate. She is the Director of The Refill Revolution, a systems-level initiative focused on challenging the disposable culture embedded in everyday consumer goods. Its vision is simple but consequential: to develop a new model of consumption that makes it possible to refill, reuse, and rethink what we consume—and ultimately erode the mindless throwaway mentality built into modern life. Her perspective connects individual mindfulness with larger cultural and systemic change, from what we put on our plates to what we put in our shopping carts. Through her writing, teaching, podcasting, and culinary work, Donna encourages people to question the assumption that convenience must come at the expense of health, sustainability, or the planet. Her approach is grounded in curiosity, practicality, and the belief that meaningful change can begin with something as ordinary—and as powerful—as what we choose to eat, use, and consume every day.
