What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles where I can drive commercial growth, innovate payment and crypto products, lead partnerships, ensure compliance, and scale operations across international markets.

I am an accomplished executive consultant with over 25 years' experience scaling fintech and iGaming businesses, specializing in payment solutions, blockchain integration and strategic market expansion. I have driven multi-million-dollar revenue growth and led successful market entries in the U.S., Asia and grey markets.

I have a proven track record of securing high-value white-label partnerships and global alliances, implementing crypto payment rails and IDV systems, and ensuring regulatory compliance across FCA, AML/CTF, GDPR and the UK Gambling Act. Key achievements include growing a sports and casino betting vertical from $3M to $24M in four years, and delivering a $10M+ trade-sale valuation for EnvisionX.

I am pragmatic and results-focused, experienced negotiating partnerships, integrating blockchain platforms (Ethereum, BSC) and optimizing payment rails (SEPA, SWIFT, FX). I seek roles where I can combine product innovation, risk and compliance oversight, and commercial strategy to accelerate growth and operational efficiency.
