About Talis Seja
Lead counsel for Fidelity’s global digital assets business from startup through rapid growth. Working closely with the senior management team, I have helped shape business decisions, strategies, and priorities, while managing compliance and risk.

In prior roles at Fidelity and two law firms, I advised businesses on complex financial products and investments, offering transactional and regulatory expertise. I am a pragmatic problem solver, committed to helping the organization make decisions and move forward while managing reasonable risk. Skilled at distilling complex regulatory issues for business leaders. Specialty areas include cryptocurrency, digital assets, finance, banking, payments, and counterparty risk. Other expertise includes cross-functional team leadership, regulatory engagement, policy, advocacy, governance, product development, and negotiation.
