Stephen Sargeant
Cryptocurrency Compliance Consultant
I was born, raised and have only worked in Toronto, Canada. I started off in the financial services and transitioned into the paralegal field. I always felt that although I had knowledge, it was difficult to be included in conversations or have my ideas heard, because I wasn’t a “lawyer”. I got into Compliance, specifically in cryptocurrency, because seniority or position (although important), didn’t hold as much weight as knowledge.
