Global PSSL Appoints Michael Gladczuk as Chief Technology Advisor ahead of the Launch of ABC Score Lab.
Cardiff, 23 July 2026
Global Principles for Sustainable Securities Lending CIC (Global PSSL) is pleased to announce the appointment of Michael Gladczuk as Chief Technology Advisor (CTA) for ABC Score™, as the initiative enters a more focused phase of technological innovation and practical development.
Michael will provide strategic technology advice as ABC Score evolves from an emerging governance architecture into a practical FinGovTech platform designed to support more dynamic governance, greater transparency and continuous innovation across financial markets.
The appointment coincides with preparations for the launch of ABC Score Lab, a dedicated innovation environment where ABC Score will be developed, tested and refined before wider implementation.
Together with a growing network of independent advisors, reviewers and stakeholders, the Lab will help accelerate the development of practical solutions capable of addressing increasingly complex challenges across modern financial markets.
The revised ABC Score Vision, together with further details of ABC Score Lab, will be published in early September 2026.
Radek Stech, CEO of Global PSSL and Founder of ABC Score, said: “ABC Score was never intended to become another set of principles or voluntary guidance. Our ambition is to build practical governance infrastructure for the next generation of financial markets. Michael’s appointment marks an important milestone as we begin translating that ambition into technology. Through ABC Score Lab, we are creating a dedicated environment where bold ideas can be developed, rigorously tested and refined before wider deployment”.
Michael Gladczuk, Chief Technology Advisor at ABC Score Lab and Founder and CEO of ACM Global Tech said: “I am honoured to serve as Chief Technology Advisor at ABC Score Lab at this important moment. Our focus will be on building a secure, independent, and future-proof governance infrastructure that delivers verifiable transparency and supports more dynamic, evidence-based stewardship across financial markets. I look forward to contributing practical expertise in agentic AI, blockchain trust layers, and post-quantum security as we move into this next phase of development.”
