Emanuel Georgouras, Principal, PistonDAO

Emanuel Georgouras is Principal and co-founder of PistonDAO, a London-based platform offering fractional ownership of rare and collectible automobiles: one of the strongest-performing alternative asset classes of the past decade.

PistonDAO was built to open new markets and bring institutional structure to a market historically driven more by passion than process, combining data-led acquisition with the custody, valuation and governance frameworks Emanuel developed across 25 years working in regulated financial markets and a long standing family history in collecting rare automobiles.

That grounding comes from a career in precious metals and foreign exchange. He began as an interbank market maker in bullion from Sydney, Geneva and London, and has since held senior trading and management roles latterly as UK Chief Executive of FCA regulated brokerages.
