What I'm looking for
I’m a high-impact business development professional with 5+ years driving growth across decentralized ecosystems and emerging markets. I specialize in bridging Web2 infrastructure and Web3 innovation through strategic partnerships, revenue-generating initiatives, and clear execution.

Previously, I scaled organic community engagement by 50% via incentive-based referral programs, turned user pain points into 20+ actionable product features, and reduced dispute resolution time by 30% while sustaining 95% satisfaction.
I’ve also owned Africa expansion and ecosystem integration work, including a 300% increase in network transaction volume in 6 months, onboarding 50+ active developers, and negotiating technical integrations that supported 99.9% uptime for decentralized RPC services. I bring strong regulatory navigation, stakeholder management, and crisis mediation to help teams deliver scalable outcomes.
