Russell Burke
Years attended CBC
1969 - 1978
What is your best memory from your time in CBC Monkstown?
Hard to pick a single memory. I look back very fondly on all my time in CBC, in both the primary and secondary schools, where I was lucky enough to equally enjoy both the academic and sporting side of things. Fellow pupils and the teachers were generally all good, though naturally some exceptions in both cases. Having the honour of representing CBC in a Junior Cup and two Senior Cups is hard to beat, though winning the first class tug of war has to be up there too!
Current Company and Position
Juristic Limited – Principal / Senior Consultant
Tell us about your business/company?
Juristic Limited is an independent payments and electronic money consultancy business which I established in 2021 after 43 years working in banking and payments. Its main business is supporting payments and electronic money businesses, generally fintech firms, who are seeking to be authorised in Ireland by the Central Bank. It also provides support to firms already regulated with their ongoing interactions with the Central Bank’s payments and electronic money supervisory team. Having spent seven years working in that area of the Central Bank, I can hopefully bring a lot of experience and add value to firms in this sector that have to deal with the Regulator.

Highlight of your career to date?
Setting up my own business and since being invited to be a board member of two electronic money firms, myPOS Ltd. and Paytrix Ireland.
What’s an interesting fact people may not know about you?
Served two terms of two years as president of the CBC Past Pupils Union though I’m not sure if that is very interesting. Leinster Rugby and West Ham United season ticket holder if that’s any better?

Sin City
Favourite Book?
Lord of the Rings
What advice would you give to your 21 year old self?
Follow your dreams – don’t accept any job or career just for the sake of it, go for what you really want. Oh yeah, and start learning golf now, don’t wait until you are too old to play rugby!
