What I'm looking for

I'm seeking remote-first roles in business development, partnerships, fintech or SaaS where I can apply M&A, trading and crypto analysis to drive revenue growth and scalable partnerships.

I am a strategic finance and M&A consultant with 10+ years of international experience across advisory, corporate finance, and trading, adept at translating financial and market insights into actionable business strategies.

I have led the execution of multiple M&A transactions—delivering on average 30% over initial valuation estimates, negotiating higher enterprise valuations, and managing post-merger integration with measurable cost reductions and zero post-transaction litigation.

In addition to deal work, I trade futures and equities, research cryptocurrency and DeFi projects, and have built DAO investment strategies; I seek remote-first roles in business development, partnerships, fintech, and SaaS where I can apply analytical rigor, deal experience, and relationship-building to drive growth.
