The Biography

The full account.

Sheraz Ahmed moderated a session at Proof of Talk Paris 2026 as managing partner of STORM Partners. The firm’s executive-team page lists him as managing partner, and Paris Blockchain Week’s April 2026 organiser roster identifies him in the same role.

STORM Partners describes its work as combining advisory, legal expertise and operational execution for blockchain organisations. Its public company history dates the firm’s foundation to 2020. The firm also identifies Decentral House as its headquarters and a physical meeting place for the Web3 community in Geneva. Ahmed’s Paris Blockchain Week biography identifies him as founder of that innovation centre. Separately, his Forbes Technology Council contributor page records articles on Web3 business growth and regulation, including a January 2025 piece about growth, regulatory and revenue strategies. At the June Proof of Talk edition, he chaired a discussion that brought together fundraising, ecosystem funding, infrastructure investment and digital ownership perspectives on tokenised markets. Decentral House brings founders, financial institutions, policymakers and infrastructure teams together in Geneva. STORM’s services span the organisational and legal work needed to bring blockchain products into regulated commercial settings.

At Proof of Talk Paris 2026, Sheraz Ahmed moderated the panel "How Tokenised Markets Create New Opportunities for Investors" on 3 June. The session ran from 10:40 to 11:15 on the Taostats Stage at the Louvre Palace. The programme also listed Mashal Waqar, Gregg Bell, Robby Yung and Matt O'Connor. In that edition’s roster, Mashal Waqar was billed with Octant; Gregg Bell was billed with Hashgraph; Robby Yung was billed with Animoca Brands; Matt O'Connor was billed with Legion.

The next Proof of Talk is in Abu Dhabi.

Louvre Abu Dhabi, 3–4 December 2026. Admission is by application, and the room is capped at 2,000.
