What I'm looking for

I operate at the intersection of growth, partnerships, and go-to-market, owning revenue and ecosystem expansion across Web3 and AI products. I focus on building scalable acquisition systems, structuring strategic partnerships, and driving measurable user and revenue growth.

I’m a Growth & Partnerships Lead focused on building and scaling acquisition, ecosystem, and go-to-market systems across Web3 and AI-driven platforms. I work at the intersection of growth, partnerships, and revenue, aligning product, marketing, and business functions to drive measurable outcomes.

In my recent work, I’ve designed and executed acquisition and incentive systems that reduced user acquisition costs by up to 50% while driving scalable user growth. I’ve led go-to-market strategies and institutional readiness efforts, including securing strategic exchange partnerships and building frameworks that increased activation and long-term engagement.

I’ve also led end-to-end growth and operations from early stage through launch, acquiring 15,000 users in 90 days at a significantly lower cost than industry benchmarks and scaling communities to over 50,000 engaged members. My focus has been on building repeatable growth systems rather than one-off campaigns.

Earlier in my career, I worked in financial markets managing over $12M in assets, which shaped my approach to growth through a strong focus on efficiency, capital allocation, and measurable impact.

I’m particularly interested in roles where I can own growth, partnerships, and revenue outcomes in fast-moving environments, especially within AI, SaaS, and emerging technology platforms.
