@matheusdepaula
I lead global growth for fintech and crypto products, scaling sustainable revenue and user acquisition.
What I'm looking for
At Blockchain.com, I lead global growth across the US, EU, UK, and emerging markets, spanning acquisition, lifecycle, paid media, and local market strategy. I led the Nigeria launch of tokenised US stocks and ETFs with Ondo Finance to 2.7x transaction goals, scaled Apple Search Ads volume 15x at 6x lower CPA, and rebuilt measurement around server-side tracking, AppsFlyer, Firebase, and BigQuery.
Across token.com and Accountfy, I have led product pivots, reduced CAC 5.6x across 120+ markets, generated 150M+ earned-media reach, and built marketing from zero to an 11-person team that drove 9x revenue growth. I do my best work with clear goals, real ownership, and engaged teams that care about the outcome, and I mentor marketers and founders through GrowthMentor and Help to Grow UK.
