Ruben Merre is a serial entrepreneur and launched his first business when he was eight years old when he bought and resold vending machine toys to his fellow pupils. Prior to NGRAVE, Ruben worked for a startup in strategy and management consulting, playing an integral role in a difference by leading projects in the local language. Apart from collecting multiple postgraduate degrees in parallel with his professional life, Ruben played a crucial part in launching the first automated portfolio investment platform in Belgium. Ruben not only led the project, he also unraveled the algorithm black box by rebuilding the full mathematical logic from scratch, ultimately proposing important quantitative readjustments of the implemented models. After scaling the platform to other countries, Ruben set up a group-wide algorithmic trading/investment platform from scratch for a large financial institution. He led twenty sub-projects for about two years, but then decided to shift his focus completely to blockchain and, ultimately, NGRAVE.

Ruben has a M.Sc. in Business Engineering (MBE), several postgraduate degrees, and is a certified PMP (Project Management Professional) and LEAN Six Sigma Black Belt. Ruben also successfully completed Oxford University's Blockchain Strategy Program.
