In this episode of the Applied Blockchain Podcast, Adi Ben-Ari speaks with Clarisse Hagège, CEO & Co-founder of Dfns, board member of the MPC Alliance, and one of Europe’s leading voices in digital asset security, about the future of wallet infrastructure and why the next decade of blockchain will be defined by secure, programmable digital custody.

With a background spanning Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Crédit Agricole CIB, and three advanced degrees in economics and finance, Clarisse combines deep institutional experience with a builder’s mindset. Today she leads Dfns, a cybersecurity company pioneering next-generation wallet infrastructure powered by MPC and API-based key management.
