Senior Product Manager
Senior Product Manager with 5+ years across crypto and fintech, focused on consumer products that turn complex on-chain activity into simple, reliable experiences. I led product at Ctrl, scaling a multi-chain wallet to 800k+ users and ~$4B in assets across 60+ networks. Owning swaps, staking, cross-chain, and end-to-end onboarding. I'm now Senior Technical PM at EMURGO, building a 0→1 multichain platform spanning DeFi, stablecoins, RWA tokenization, and card/fiat.
I pair hands-on delivery with a strong technical foundation (data-driven, comfortable with on-chain data, and able to work closely with engineers). I'm looking for a senior Product Manager or Product Lead role in crypto or fintech, ideally in wallets, DeFi, payments, or on-chain data — where I can own a product area end-to-end.
