What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in a forward-thinking company that values innovation and offers opportunities for growth in fintech.

I am a Blockchain Strategist and Chartered Accountant with over 12 years of experience in driving fintech innovation and managing over $500 million in cross-border financial transactions, including two successful bank acquisitions. My expertise lies in scaling regulatory-compliant DeFi solutions, and I have a proven track record in seed fundraising, achieving a remarkable 150% oversubscription at Photochromic. I hold a Master of Science in Blockchain and Digital Currency, with specialized electives in Emerging Topics in FinTech, Open and Decentralized Financial Systems, and Token Economics.

Throughout my career, I have held various leadership roles, including Chief Operating Officer at Photochromic, where I secured significant funding and led market entry strategies. My experience as a Senior Transactor at Firstrand Bank involved leading M&A due diligence and managing digital transformation strategies for a prominent investment bank. I have also provided strategic advisory services to various industries, including real estate and commodities, contributing to substantial capital expansions and market strategies.
