Operations Manager

Operations & Strategic Director | Business Development Specialist in Web3 & Blockchain



An experienced Operations and Strategic Director with a strong background in Web3, DeFi, NFTs, and blockchain technology, I excel in operational management and strategic growth. With a proven ability to lead teams, optimize business processes, and drive revenue growth, I have successfully launched and managed blockchain-based projects, scaled teams, and implemented business strategies across Web2 and Web3 landscapes. Notable achievements include leading the Holly DAO NFT project to a sold-out collection, assisting the CyberKongz community team with the execution of the MET.AMS roadshow, facilitating high-value acquisitions, and driving sales growth through innovative sales and marketing strategies.



I am now seeking opportunities in operations, product management and business development roles to apply my expertise in delivering sustainable growth and maximizing value in the Web3 ecosystem.
