Founder,
Walt
Cole Bittel is the founder of Walt, a privacy-first mobile wallet focused on reclaiming tap-to-pay in Europe. In store purchases describe our personal values and choices in life. Walt focuses on keeping that sacred data private, and on European land. He speaks on European payments sovereignty, privacy-by-design, and what it takes to ship an independent wallet in a market dominated by Google and Apple. Cole has spent 14 years in scaleups and fintechs, most recently at Pleo and Legora.
