Business Development & Partnerships | Finance, Trading & Crypto
I hold a Bachelor's degree in International Relations and a Postgraduate degree in Economics and Finance.
Over 10 years in financial services as an investment advisor, financial consultant and risk analyst. I led a team that raised more than $150M in investment capital for a bank, and I have managed and trained teams of over 200 people. I have worked in sales since the age of 18.
I am a professional trader, active in both crypto and traditional markets, and I run a financial education community where I manage partnership and referral relationships with crypto exchanges including BingX and Bitget.
I came up with the idea for DGL together with a friend and we built the company's prototype: a decentralized, fully auditable on-chain lottery running on BNB Smart Chain (playdgl.com).
Former founder and investor with exits in marketing, software and edtech startups. Strong focus on business development, partnerships, growth strategy and financial performance.
Fluent in English and Portuguese, with intermediate Spanish.
I am looking for a remote Business Development or Partnerships role where I can combine deep finance experience with hands-on crypto knowledge to help a company grow.
