Toon Leijtens is the CTO of komgo. After working for 20+ years in global financial markets as a Risk IT specialist, he joined the ING Blockchain team in 2016 as a blockchain engineer and senior Architect. In two years he has developed commodity trade finance solutions and contributed to the two successful Easy Trading Connect real live trades using blockchain technology; (1.) Crude oil trade between Mercuria and Chemchina, and (2.) the very first soybeans transaction on a blackchain between LDC and Bohi in December 2017). Apart from these significant first-offs, Toon also researched platform interoperability to optimize delivery versus payment cases and experimented with self-sovereign identity solutions. All using distributed ledger technologies.
