Huma Finance welcomes Patrick F. Campos as Chief Business Officer (CBO), where he will lead strategic growth, forge key industry partnerships, and advance the company’s expansion in real-world asset (RWA) financing.
Patrick has built a career at the intersection of finance, blockchain, and regulation, tackling challenges in liquidity, capital efficiency, and market infrastructure. As former Chief Strategy Officer at Securrency, he was instrumental in developing institutional-grade blockchain-based financial and regulatory technology, focusing on tokenization, compliance, and global capital markets. His work has centered on solving inefficiencies in financial systems and unlocking new opportunities in decentralized finance and payments.
With a background in corporate strategy, capital markets, and regulatory frameworks, Patrick has advised companies in Web3, DeFi, digital payments, and financial technology, helping to shape investment and growth strategies. He has also held senior roles at King & Spalding, Baker Botts, and Chadbourne & Parke LLP, where he structured complex financial transactions.
Patrick has been deeply involved in Huma’s vision, having previously served as a strategic advisor to both Huma and Arf. He has already contributed to shaping the company’s approach to liquidity, working capital solutions, and financial infrastructure. In his new role, he will focus on expanding Huma’s global presence, strengthening industry partnerships, and positioning Huma as a key player in payment financing innovation.
“I’m thrilled to join the dynamic Huma Finance team to help to create new decentralized paradigms for real-world asset finance” said Patrick Campos. “Next-generation financial products must meet the needs of a new global marketplace of crypto-savvy DeFi investors while leaving space for regulatory innovation through thoughtful structuring and proactive engagement. I’m looking forward to working closely with Erbil Karaman, Richard Liu, and the rest of the team to bring to life their vision of a vibrant PayFi ecosystem in which Huma Finance will be both trailblazer and protagonist."
Beyond finance, Patrick has a track record of building and leading high-performance teams, shaped by his experience as a United States Marine Corps officer, a founder of the Emirates American Football League and the Emirates Gridiron League, and a head coach of multiple American football teams.
His leadership will accelerate Huma’s efforts to redefine global liquidity, credit, and access to capital.
