What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a role where I can combine crypto research and KOL partnership management with strong compliance practices, in a collaborative, growth-focused team.

I am a crypto industry professional with hands-on experience in research, market analysis, content creation, and strategic KOL partnerships, focused on driving brand visibility and user engagement. I combine deep blockchain and DeFi knowledge with practical campaign management—from sourcing and negotiating with influencers to setting KPIs and overseeing content quality.

I also serve as a Data Protection Officer, ensuring GDPR compliance, conducting audits, and training staff while acting as liaison with supervisory authorities. My background in legal advising, healthcare data management and business administration supports a disciplined, compliance-first approach to crypto and web3 projects.
