Hi, I’m Nichel! Prior to founding PDAX, I spent my entire career in the financial markets - in banking, asset management, trust and securities services. When markets work correctly, incomes go up, businesses flourish, new jobs are created - and the entire economy grows. When they don't work correctly, savings are lost, the economy contracts and people get hurt. PDAX's mission is to make financial services safer and more accessible.

At Accel Institute, I teach fundraising, accounting, finance, and entrepreneurship. I taught for many years at Ateneo de Manila University. I’m passionate about helping entrepreneurs navigate the financial markets safely, and making it work for them so that it empowers, rather than undermines, their efforts as they build great projects & companies. I hope to share my knowledge & experience with you in one of our courses at Accel Institute!
