Bilingual educator and fintech founder specializing in English teaching and crypto cross-border payments.
ChileWhat I'm looking for
I am a bilingual professional blending practical English teaching experience with fintech entrepreneurship across Latin America and Africa.
I taught English in Nigerian schools and managed part-time classes for non-native speakers, while completing a TEFL certification to refine my instructional approach.
As CEO of multiple startups I built payment gateways, remittance rails, a Binance-network token, and APIs for virtual accounts, cards, and stablecoin payouts to accelerate market entry in Latin America.
I thrive in early-stage, VC-style environments, bringing team building, compliance focus, and rapid scaling experience alongside clear communication and student-centered teaching methods.
