What I'm looking for

I seek product leadership roles in crypto/DeFi or fintech where I can drive product strategy, scale global platforms, mentor teams, and deliver measurable revenue growth.

I am a product leader with 15+ years of experience building and scaling fintech and digital-asset products, focused on DeFi, Web3, and smart contract functionality. I align technical roadmaps with business strategy to deliver high-performance, regulated products that scale globally.

At Fortris I led multi-product roadmaps and growth initiatives that increased YoY revenue by 20%, scaled transaction volume from $8B to $12B, and improved CSAT by 20%, while managing and mentoring a team of six product managers. Previously I delivered rapid monetization and liquidity-focused strategies at Circular and launched high-impact European Web3 projects and venture-building efforts with FundingBox Communities.

I founded consumer fintech-adjacent platforms in London, achieving strong user adoption and strategic partnerships, and I hold an MBA along with specialized training in DeFi and payments. I bring execution-driven leadership, cross-functional coordination, and a track record securing EU R&D funding and driving multimillion-euro outcomes.
