About me

Zeynel Abidin Özbay is the co-founder and CEO of Wealt, a platform redefining access to private markets for individual investors. His journey into fintech is rooted in over a decade of experience in global finance, where he developed a deep understanding of market structure, risk, and opportunity.

Before launching Wealt, Abidin spent 12 years trading across Emerging Markets and Commodities. As Vice President of Treasury at MUFG, he led the Sales & Trading team, managed the bank’s portfolios, and designed macroeconomic strategies for institutional clients. His career spans multi-asset portfolio management, with a particular focus on identifying value in complex and often opaque markets.

At Wealt, Abidin brings this expertise to the mission of breaking down barriers in private markets. He leads the company with a conviction that access to high-quality opportunities should not be limited by institutional status, but enabled through smart tools, transparency, and education.

His focus areas at Wealt include:

• Opening up private markets to individuals through technology
• Simplifying complex investment processes into clear, actionable steps
• Building a credible and inclusive investor community
• Bridging the gap between traditional finance and modern financial access
