I first got to know Mark in 2015 or 2016, or thereabouts. I believe he joined the board in 2020, if my memory serves me correctly.
The main thing we were interested in having was his perspective and expertise on the evolution of the global financial system generally. When he was in the U.K., he spoke a lot about open access to payment rails, central bank digital currencies, tokenized systems and things like that. He's the only living person, or I guess maybe the only living or dead person, to have been a central bank governor in two different G8 markets. As we thought about what the global financial system might look like in 10 or 20 years, we thought he would provide a valuable perspective.
