In a world where \u2018economic crisis\u2019 is bandied around as a term so often that it starts to lose its meaning, the need for a fresh approach is fairly clear and new solutions to try to help people manage their finances during rocky times are pretty appealing.\r\n\r\nThe success of events like SeedCamp Fintech also points to an appetite for coders and technologists to consider new ways for people to work digitally with their money from church donations to shifting large amounts in business transactions.\r\n\r\nAnthemis\u2019 Managing Director Sam Johnson will be taking the lead in New York and hopes to push the business further from this vantage point to grow activities across the United States.\r\n\r\nJohnson was previously the founder and CEO of TransactTools, a trading technology company that was acquired by NYSE in 2007.
