Sinclair Skinner

Co-Founder BitMari

Sinclair Skinner is Co-Founder of BitMari, the largest Pan-African Bitcoin wallet provider that is using blockchain technology to open doors of financial inclusion and economic empowerment. BitMari has been among the most successful bitcoin companies in Africa and is the first to partner with the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe to lower remittance fees across the Diaspora.

Under his leadership, the company launched the first ever Blockchain based accelerator for women farmers in Africa.  The accelerator targets Zimbabwean women farmers, uses Bitcoin as a digital coupon and connects farmers to direct investment with smart contracts.

Mr. Skinner, is not only dedicated to disrupting traditional methods of banking that leave communities powerless, but is laser focused on disrupting traditional education systems that fail to expose youth to cutting edge technology in cryptocurrency.  In 2017, BitMari kicked off the first ever Transatlantic bitcoin and blockchain tour to over 20 colleges and universities. Each stop included focus group discussions, fintech hackathons, and tech job recruitment.
