What I'm looking for

I am seeking a dynamic role that allows me to leverage my expertise in finance and technology, focusing on strategic growth and operational excellence within a forward-thinking organization.

With a robust background in finance and technology, I have dedicated my career to consulting startups and leading innovative projects in the cryptocurrency space. As the Owner of SOV Solutions, I specialize in bridging the gap between information technology and finance, helping businesses navigate the complexities of modern financial infrastructure.

Previously, I served as the Global Head of OTC at Rain, where I spearheaded the establishment of the Crypto OTC Desk, managing operations that transacted over $1.4 billion in volume. My leadership in developing strategic partnerships and overseeing liquidity management has been pivotal in driving revenue growth and operational efficiency. My experience spans multiple high-impact roles, including COO at Bitstocks and VP at B2C2, where I honed my skills in product management, business development, and operational excellence.
