Veteran fintech executive Keith Todd has announced the launch of Sapphire Technology Group Ltd., a London-based firm designed to drive growth and profitability in global technology businesses.

This doctrine prioritises vision, authentic culture, and a stakeholder-centric approach to business transformation.

The group will operate through two primary initiatives. Sapphire Leadership will offer intensive programmes for C-suite executives, beginning with an inaugural “Sapphire Transform 2026” event in Boulder, Colorado, this September. This immersive session is designed to help leaders implement the doctrine’s principles to achieve sustainable, scalable growth.
