William Melton

Visionary, Financial Innovator

Over the course of his celebrated career, Mr. William “Bill” Melton has been a founding executive and/or early investor in multiple startups that went on to become successful, billion-dollar companies (Verifone, PayPal, AOL, FirstData).

Bio

Spanning decades, these successful first-mover endeavors have blazed a trail that defines much of the current technology landscape: retail electronic payment systems, online commerce, and platform-based commerce and community solutions.

Bill also foresees that online and offline experiences will converge in the era of blockchain, with community engagement the new holy grail. As the Chief Strategy Advisor of One Sphera, his vision inspired the team to develop the blockchain-based distributed Value Chain Platform. By changing the relationship between organizations and their participants, and incentivizing right action, a new, Global Collaborative Economy will emerge. The result will flatten verticals, increase knowledge, and transfer financial wealth from the global economic system into the hands of the people who are bringing added value to organizations: their citizens, participants, and customers.
