Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Redza Arbee is a digital transformation professional with over 17 years of experience across various industries and organizations, including finance, technology, and the public sector. His passion for understanding the global monetary system and his extensive knowledge in digital transformation led him to write the book "The Digital Transformation of Money: A Primer on Why Bitcoin Matters and How it Works." The book is aimed at helping people gain a better perspective on Bitcoin and why it can protect their wealth.

Throughout his career, Redza has led various digital transformation initiatives across different industries from strategy development, policy recommendations, to digitalization projects.

There, he also gained valuable insights into the intricacies of the financial industry, providing context for his writing in this book.

Before embarking on his professional journey, Redza graduated with a bachelor’s degree in business administration, majoring in management information systems and management. Redza's early years in the industry started around the time he was certified as a systems engineer at 19; around that time, he was also involved in deploying computer networks and training users as part of Malaysia's Multimedia Super Corridor’s (MSC) Smart School and e-Government projects.
