Lead Global Partnerships & Operations

I am the bridge between the precision of traditional finance and the frontier of the crypto economy.

With over 13 years of experience at institutions like Deutsche Bank, RBS, and Yes Bank I mastered the "trust architecture" of global finance—handling complex FX, treasury, and trade finance operations. My career is built on the belief that for Web3 to reach its next billion users, it must be built on the same rigor, compliance, and operational excellence that move the world’s fiat markets.

What I bring to the table:
Institutional Scale: I currently manage a global ecosystem of 100+ partners (dApps, DEXs, PropTechs, and Asset Managers) at Integra Layer Foundation.

The "30% Efficiency Factor": I specialize in transforming unstructured startup environments into scalable machines. I’ve re-engineered onboarding workflows to **accelerate partner integration by 30% and reduced compliance errors by 30%

RWA Expert: From managing $5M trade finance portfolio  to orchestrating multi-million dollar on-chain asset deals, I understand the full lifecycle of bringing real-world value onto the blockchain.

My mission is simple: To move the "pipes" of global finance onto the blockchain while ensuring 100% audit-readiness and regulatory integrity.

I’ve been recognized by the RBI Governor for excellence in operations, and I bring that same "standard of care" to every protocol I scale. 

Specialties: Global Partnerships, Web3 Operations, RWA Tokenization, Institutional Onboarding, KYC/AML Compliance, Trade Finance, and Ecosystem Strategy.
