Thaddee Bousselin is Implementation Engineer, he joined the company in 2022.

Reflecting on the 3-year Journey

You’ve been with the company for three years, as an implementation engineer. How has the company supported your growth during this time?

Working at Tokeny for the past three years has been an incredible journey. The company has supported my evolution by offering diverse learning opportunities and, more importantly, by entrusting me with a variety of responsibilities. This has sharpened both my technical and strategic skills.

The combination of support from a super smart team and the autonomy I’ve been given has been instrumental in my professional growth.

Tokeny’s Culture Involvement

Tokeny has grown significantly since you joined. How has the company culture evolved in your opinion?

When I first joined, we had that typical early-stage startup energy – everyone wore multiple hats and decisions happened quickly. As we’ve grown, we’ve maintained our core values but added more structure where needed. The culture has matured rather than fundamentally changed.

How would you describe your own personal growth within the company?

I’ve grown in ways I hadn’t anticipated. From a technical standpoint, I’ve significantly expanded my expertise across various areas, including tokenization and blockchain implementation. I’ve also improved my ability to manage client relationships and explain complex topics clearly to different audiences. I’ve learned to balance perfectionism with practicality and to prioritize tasks effectively in a fast-paced environment.

Company Values in Practice

You mentioned in your previous interview how much you appreciated the creativity and boldness the company encourages. Can you share an example of a project where you or your team took a bold approach, and how it was received?

Last year, we helped launch an STO for a sustainability-focused investment closely aligned with my personal values. The initiative enabled investors to finance sustainable agriculture and earn returns from crop sales and carbon credits. Throughout the project, I was fortunate to work alongside my exceptional team whose genuine enthusiasm, proactive approach, and ability to navigate complex requirements made a strong impression on the client. The successful offering launch and seeing investors benefit financially while making a tangible environmental impact was particularly rewarding.

Reflections and Future Outlook

If you could give advice to your younger self, just starting out at Tokeny, what would it be?

I’d tell myself to worry less about knowing everything right away. The blockchain and tech space evolves so rapidly that continuous learning is part of the job – and nobody expects you to have all the answers. In fact, today, I proactively search for and ask “naive questions,” as they might challenge assumptions, open the door to better solutions, help clarify my own understanding or at the very least, reveal how others perceive a topic.

As someone who has been with the company through significant milestones, where do you see Tokeny going in the next five years, and how do you envision your role evolving in that journey?

I believe we’re nearing a tipping point where tokenization shifts from being an innovative approach to becoming the default logical choice in financial markets. Over the next five years, I see Tokeny consolidating its position as a global market leader, partnering with major financial institutions and establishing our technologies and standards as industry benchmarks. Increasing regulatory clarity will accelerate adoption, and we’re ideally placed to leverage this momentum.

As for my role, I hope to grow with the company by taking on more strategic responsibilities while maintaining hands-on involvement in implementation. I’m particularly interested in developing our approach to solving for advanced use cases.

Finally, as we’ve gotten to know you over the years, you’ve often shared your love for traveling and riding your motorbikes. Do any learnings or skills from these hobbies translate into your work at Tokeny?

Definitely. Skills and experiences from all my interests enhance my work at Tokeny. Likewise, professional insights often enrich my personal pursuits. I believe in living a holistic life, where all aspects are interconnected and should not be overly compartmentalized.

Motorcycle riding and racing has taught me risk assessment and staying calm under pressure – skills I use daily when dealing with critical implementations. You need to make quick decisions while remaining level-headed.

Travel broadens your perspective, enabling you to collaborate more effectively with diverse teams and clients from around the globe. It fosters openness to different viewpoints. Plus, let’s not forget the bonus of trying great food!

Both motorcycling and traveling require a balance between planning and adaptability – essential qualities in blockchain, where innovative ideas must align with practical execution to consistently deliver the excellence we strive to provide our growing customer base.
