Speaker Bio: 
Amani is the founder GTX Markets and the GTXC Protocol. Ms. Anai worked for several years at the intersection of finance, design, engineering, and product. Her career began on Wall Street and evolved one pivot at a time after she began helping startups get funded, learned to design and code (the hard way), taught UX workshops, strategically advised businesses, learned agile, started companies, founded agencies, and led product teams across various geographies, industries and disciplines. Overall, her experiences have produced deep acumen in how to effectively communicate product vision, establish UX design processes, cultivate UX as a business strategy, run agile teams, implement or migrate to modern technology stacks/tools and optimize cross-functional product team communication and collaboration.

This led Amani to become the founder of GTCX Markets, a trade ecosystem and infrastructure backbone that creates institutional-grade verification and execution capabilities for commodity transactions in frontier markets—starting with gold production across Africa. GTCX is an open, modular ecosystem of protocols, AI-enabled field operations, and institutional-grade trade mechanisms delivers accessible onramps to legitimacy and data-backed trust between governments, suppliers, and buyers—regardless of connectivity or market formality. Built on frontier-first, open source infrastructure with sovereign governance frameworks, GTCX enables institutional investors and developed markets to efficiently access verified frontier production while operationalizing regulatory oversight and economic sovereignty for producers of any scale.
