Duncan Goldie-Scot
Duncan Goldie-Scot pioneered the use of mobile payments in microfinance institutions (MFIs) in East Africa by providing technical assistance and capacity building to MFIs in Kenya and Tanzania. He co-founded and is now a director of Musoni BV, an MFI holding company in The Netherlands and of Musoni Kenya Ltd in Nairobi, Kenya. It is the first MFI that is 100% cashless: all disbursements and repayments use mobile payment services such as M-PESA. Before starting in microfinance, Duncan ran his own publishing company and also wrote about emerging market banking and finance. He now lives in New York and sits on the boards of various companies and charities.
