#033: Bringing Global Distribution to Private Markets | Anthony Woolley (Citigroup, HSBC, Ownera) + Todd Stevens (PwC, Deutsche Bank, Inveniam)
Private markets are the biggest on the planet, representing trillions of dollars of assets. But they often lack the transparency investors have come to expect from public markets. Inter-dealer brokers bridge that gap by providing pricing, liquidity, and privacy for buyers and sellers, but they’ve struggled to keep pace with the latest innovations in digitization and tokenization.
Enter INVENIAM.io, the data operating system for delivering access, transparency, and trust in the value and performance of private market assets. Inveniam is helping asset owners and managers credential their documents, extract their data, and deliver their trusted data into third-party tools like ARGUS, iLEVEL, eFront, and more. Trusted data verified by Inveniam also enhances the offerings from our ecosystem partners like Tokeny, Ownera, Oasis Pro Markets, and more.
Today, we’re sharing a recent conversation from Digital Assets Week Singapore featuring (along with our host Chris Berg):
- Anthony Woolley, Ownera Head of Business Development & Marketing – bringing the financial industry together to digitize the private markets
- Todd Stevens, Inveniam Head of Capital Markets – the data operating system for delivering access, transparency, and trust in the value and performance of private market assets

#032: The Foundation for More Efficient Valuations | Tara Stacom (Cushman & Wakefield)
Asset owners are flooded with data. And when these owners go to sell or value their assets, the valuation agents spend an inordinate amount of time collecting source documents and extracting the data therein. These processes are tedious, error-prone, and often spread across multiple emails or third-party data siloes.
In response, Cushman & Wakefield is streamlining their valuation processes using the INVENIAM.io data operating system for private market assets.
Today, we’re excited to have subject matter experts (along with host Chris Berg):
- Tara Stacom, Cushman & Wakefield Executive Vice Chairman — one of the “Big Three” commercial real estate services companies
- Patrick O’Meara, Inveniam Chairman & CEO — the data operating system for delivering access, transparency, and trust in the value and performance of private market assets
