What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters innovation and collaboration, with opportunities for growth.

I am currently the VP of Strategy at Gate.io, where I lead strategic listings and investment initiatives. My role involves negotiating and planning go-to-market strategies for over 90 projects, ensuring successful integrations and resource allocations. I thrive on building and maintaining relationships with key partners, including venture capitalists and project founders, to foster ecosystem growth.

Before my venture into the crypto space, I gained valuable experience in traditional media and business development, representing web2 companies. My background has equipped me with a unique perspective on market dynamics and the importance of strategic partnerships. I am passionate about driving innovation and collaboration within the blockchain ecosystem.
