Michael Arbus

Co-founder Bitbuy in Toronto, Canada

I am fortunate to have had an adventurous career, employed initially by global financial Institutions that took me to some of the largest financial centers in the world including New York, London, Toronto, Sao Paulo, Switzerland, Singapore, and Dubai. I had the privilege of working with incredible global financial professionals from all walks of life. Over the last decade, I shifted careers from Tier-1 financial institutions to building smaller business as the frontline operator. In this chapter of life, I have now proudly served as the CEO of three unique businesses, with two successful exits.

I hold the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation, earned an MBA with a focus on financial engineering, hold a BA in Philosophy, and was registered to trade securities in both the USA and Canada. I have considerable finance experience in roles including Investment Banking, Equity Research, Corporate Credit Lending, Institutional Block Trading, Institutional Equity Sales, Private Equity, Venture Capital and Merchant Banking. I love watching the the old world of financial products being reinvented with newer technology, fresh innovation and improved access for the masses!
