NEW YORK, April 18, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The award winning DarcMatter platform, which has successfully delivered key financial technology solutions for their clients globally for 3+ years, benefits from a strong community of advocates and financial technology enthusiasts sharing the same passion as the DarcMatter team: increasing access and transparency throughout investment services.  As the company's financial technology solutions evolve to include blockchain, DarcMatter Coin (DMC) will be utilized on the NEM blockchain to continue to remove opacity and inefficiencies throughout the industry. Pursuing the implementation and integration of blockchain technology into a pre-established business, takes some key expertise and knowledge of both the financial industry and the core blockchain technology. To DarcMatter's significant benefit, DMC's ICO project consists of an exceptionally strong advisory and leadership team which is a key foundational element to the company's success with blockchain integration. 

DarcMatter's management team consists of the company's two co-founders and CTO, who have been working together since the inception of DarcMatter in 2014. The three-person management team, is responsible for over 20 employees globally.  Given their vast professional experience, coupled with the success of building the platform 3+ years ago, the management team is extremely well poised to tackle the next step in the company's growth – blockchain. DarcMatter's President and CEO (as well as co-founder), Sang Lee, is a former investment banker with BNP Paribas and WestLB, has executed $10.0 Bn+ in private placement transactions, and has experience on advisory boards. He is also the winner of leading entrepreneurship awards, such as Under30CEO, 30 under 30, and GOOD100, and contributes to Forbes, Huffington Post and TheStreet. The company's other co-founder and COO, Natasha Bansgopaul, has significant professional experience in strategy and insights from Fortune 50 corporations, with significant marketing experience from the CPG sector. She has successfully led the business development and expansion of DarcMatter in the US and abroad and is responsible for the team's awards, participation, and recognition as a global award winning fintech platform . DarcMatter's CTO, Stan Solodkyy is also extremely impressive. In addition to technically developing the DM platform, he has over 14 years of software development experience, and has had senior lead roles at companies including Estee Lauder and AdvisoryWorld Financial Technology. His skills are diverse, ranging from financial institution integration with SWIFT, to web development with European banks. His academic pedigree is just as impressive, having received a Master's degree in Computer Science at the age of 20.

In addition to the management leadership team of DarcMatter (DM) and DarcMatter Coin (DMC), the team has an impressive roster of advisors and investors that are integral to the ICO project's success. Below highlights some of the key advisors that are a part of the DarcMatter Coin ICO project.
