Brett Jackson — Mon, 04 May 2020 09:00:00 +0000

Lorna Ramsay is one of Houston's top producing real estate relocation and luxury specialists. She has won several top producing Keller Williams company awards - regional and international - in recognition for her work.

Her clients come from all over the world knowing her single focus is to help them find their ideal home. In addition, she runs an expat coffee and sales group called Wednesday Coffee to help expats settle into Houston quickly and comfortably.

Lorna was born in Aberdeen, Scotland and relocated to Houston from London in 2003. Because she has leased, bought and built her own homes in Houston, she knows how stressful it is to be separated from family and friends, to arrive in an unknown city, know no one, and to try to buy or lease a home without knowing the area.

Granite PR is thrilled that Lorna is taking part in the 2020 Aberdeen-Houston Gateway.

Alastair Caithness - CEO of Ziyen Energy and Chief Blockchain Policy Advisor for the Libertarian Party

Brett Jackson — Mon, 04 May 2020 09:00:00 +0000

Alastair Caithness, of San Diego is a recognized leader in the development of asset-backed, blockchain tokens. Originally from Scotland, Caithness is CEO of Ziyen Energy, a technology-driven company focused on the tokenization of energy infrastructure assets.

Ziyen Energy currently owns interests in various oil assets throughout the United States. Under Caithness’ leadership, in 2019 Ziyen Energy launched ZiyenCoin, an energy infrastructure token utilizing blockchain technology as a catalyst to facilitate the transition in energy from carbon-based fuels to renewable energy.

Ziyen Energy is also finalizing the development of the ZYEN trading platform which will enable the tokenization of energy infrastructure assets and other financial instruments.

Alastair has also been appointed as Chief Blockchain Policy Advisor for AmeriCoin within the Libitarian Party. Part of that role is to develop the monetary policy post COVID-19.

The development of AmeriCoin follows a similar model as ZiyenCoin and is fundamentally a tokenization of a verifiable pool of assets. Of course, the vision of AmeriCoin is to replicate these innovations on a far larger scale utilizing all the assets of the Federal government, including its substantial land, energy, gold, timber and mineral reserves (and perhaps tax receipts).
