Caspian Nordstrom
Caspian spent fifteen years at Royal Bank of Canada, where he led digital transformation initiatives that processed over billion in daily transactions. After leaving RBC in 2023, he co-founded a successful payments startup that was acquired by Mogo.
His approach to teaching financial technology focuses on real-world applications rather than theoretical concepts. "I've seen brilliant developers struggle because they didn't understand regulatory requirements," Caspian often tells students. "Technical skills mean nothing if you can't navigate compliance."
