What I'm looking for

I seek a growth-focused role leading partnerships or GTM efforts where I can drive market expansion, negotiate strategic deals, and scale cross-functional initiatives.

I’m a Business Growth and Partnerships professional experienced in helping digital platforms scale through strategic collaborations, data-driven decision-making, and performance optimization.

Previously at Coda Payments, I partnered with global brands and internal stakeholders across Risk, Legal, and Commercial teams to negotiate key contracts and ensure compliance across multiple markets. My work focused on improving advertiser performance through insights into UA metrics, retention, and ROAS.

I’m passionate about building long-term partnerships that deliver measurable growth. I enjoy working in fast-moving environments where strategy and execution go hand in hand, especially in fintech and gaming.
