## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking to build and scale fintech, digital-asset, or cross-border payments businesses in emerging markets, using hands-on GTM, partnerships, stablecoin settlement, and market-entry experience.
```

## About

```text
I've built African market operations for fintech and crypto platforms from zero, spanning GTM, partnerships, sales, and cross-border settlement.

At OneRemit, I lead sales and personally originated roughly 30% of platform transaction volume through USDT-based cross-border settlement—about $6M in 180 days. I built the partnership pipeline behind the company’s first $20M in cumulative volume across 30+ countries and 7+ industries.

At Backpack Exchange & Wallet, I was the sole Africa-based operator, driving Nigeria to about $10M in average monthly trading volume and running onboarding, support escalations, compliance coordination, and partner management. Previously at FTX, I grew African monthly trading volume from about $20M to $1.5B–$2B by building fiat on/off-ramp partnerships across Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, and South Africa.

I've also served as COO at Finna Protocol, where I helped scale the platform to roughly 5,000 active users, and founded Eodly, an AI productivity tool for small engineering teams. I bring hands-on experience in stablecoin infrastructure, regulated financial products, and ground-up market entry across Africa and MENA.
