MBA by ALTIS, Milan (Tangaza University Business Model Winner 2016). While doing this work, he noticed that people are hired in technology companies without understanding the ethical and moral consequences of the increasingly complex and automated systems they design and operate. As a result, Brian was inspired to think about the intersection of ethics and technology in today’s world and the future, which led to his writing Cashless Society 101.

Originally from Uganda, East Africa, Brian spends time writing sci-fi, listening to live jazz, swing and salsa dancing as well as hiking and cooking with his life partner in New York City, the city of dreams.
