Alastair Johnson is the founder and CEO of Nuggets, which he started in 2016 with co-founder Seema Khinda Johnson. Nuggets initially worked with the Bank of International Settlements (BIS) and the BoE on a project to connect monetary authorities and the private sector to facilitate retail digital currency payments called Project Rosalind. Off the back of that work, Nuggets was asked by the BoE to investigate and design the privacy layer for the digital pound, a company spokesperson said.
