Two roles that sit alongside Global Secure and TriParty, what each title means, and why I describe them in so few words.
Most of what I write is about Global Secure and TriParty Tokenisation, but two other roles appear on my profile, and this piece from Shane Ian Murphy explains them: co-founder of Dual Party Capital, and board member of CICC.
Both are listed on my home page, next to my other companies. I keep the descriptions there short on purpose, and this page explains why, as well as what each title means in practice and where you can read more about each organisation from its own source.
The full list of roles, for context
It helps to see every role together before looking at two of them closely:
- Founder of Global Secure, an all-in-one financial ecosystem app coming in 2027. It is not live; pre-registration is open at www.globalsecureapp.com.
- Co-founder and partner of TriParty Tokenisation, which coordinates the tokenisation of substantial real-world assets.
- Co-founder of Dual Party Capital.
- Board member of CICC.
My background is in British telecoms and technology at BT and at CAE, a boxxe Group company, and I founded Limitless Mobile, a mobile company in the United States, which I have since moved on from.
Dual Party Capital: what “co-founder” means
I am a co-founder of Dual Party Capital. Its own website is dualpartycapital.com, and that is the right place to read what the company does, in its own words.
I am deliberately not going to restate the company’s offering here. A company’s description belongs to the company, and I would rather send readers to the source than paraphrase it and risk getting a detail wrong.
What I can explain is the title. “Co-founder” means I was one of the people who started the company. It is a shared role. That is different from being the sole founder, which is my position at Global Secure, and it is different from being a partner, which is part of my title at TriParty Tokenisation. I use each word precisely because the differences matter to anyone deciding whether to work with me.
Shane Ian Murphy on the CICC board role
I am a board member of CICC. Its website is council-icc.org, and again, that site is where you should read about the organisation, its purpose and its members.
A board seat is a particular kind of role, and it is easy to overstate. In general terms, a board member contributes to oversight and direction alongside other board members. It is a shared responsibility, not a personal title of command. I do not describe myself as running CICC, and I would be uncomfortable if anyone else did.
I mention the role on my profile because it is part of my working life and because people who look me up deserve the full picture. I keep the description to those few words because that is the accurate description.
There is also a practical reason for care. Board roles carry responsibilities to the organisation and to the other members of the board. Speaking loosely about an organisation you help to oversee can cause problems for people who had no say in what you wrote. So when I write about CICC, I write about my role, and I leave the organisation’s own story to the organisation.
Why I keep these descriptions so short
Some people expect a founder’s site to make every role sound as large as possible. I take the opposite view. In finance and asset work, the most useful thing you can give a reader is a description they can check.
Short, accurate descriptions do three jobs:
- They can be verified. Each organisation has its own website, so anyone can compare what I say with what the organisation says.
- They avoid confusion between roles. A founder, a co-founder, a partner and a board member are four different things, and blurring them misleads people.
- They age well. A plain title stays true. An inflated one has to be walked back later.
The same habit runs through Global Secure. The app is debit only, with no credit cards and no lending. Its planned profit share, 10% of net profit in a ring-fenced pot shared after 12 continuous paid months, is a share of profit and not a guaranteed return. TriParty offers no guaranteed returns and no guaranteed liquidity, and its tokens are not stablecoins. In every case, the short version is the honest version.
How to check a founder’s roles for yourself
Whether you are looking at me or at anyone else in fintech, these steps are worth a few minutes before a first call:
- Find each organisation’s own website and read how it describes itself.
- Check that the person’s title matches across their profile, the company site and their professional networking page.
- Notice the difference between founder, co-founder, partner, director and board member, and ask which one applies.
- Be wary of any profile that lists impressive roles without naming the organisations.
- Ask directly. A founder who is comfortable with their own record will answer plainly.
For my part, my roles are listed on this site, on my LinkedIn page and on the company websites, and I try to keep the wording the same everywhere. The articles section has longer pieces on Global Secure, TriParty and my career, written in the same plain way.
Questions people ask
What does Dual Party Capital do?
The best answer is the company’s own, at dualpartycapital.com. I am a co-founder, and I prefer readers to hear the company’s description from the source.
Are you the chair of CICC?
I describe my role as board member, because that is the role. You can read about CICC itself at council-icc.org.
How do these roles relate to Global Secure?
They are separate. Global Secure is the app I founded, coming in 2027 and not live yet. Dual Party Capital and CICC are distinct organisations with their own websites.
That is the plain account of two quieter parts of my working life. If you searched Shane Ian Murphy to understand every role I hold, the list above is complete, and each organisation’s own site is the best place to read more.
