I have built my career across both traditional finance and digital assets, with experience at Bitwise, Brevan Howard Digital and J.P. Morgan.
Most recently, I was part of the research team at Bitwise, where I carried out fundamental research across altcoins, with a particular focus on the Ethereum, Solana and NEAR ecosystems. I also worked on thematic research across areas such as DeFi, stablecoins, tokenisation and AI x crypto, alongside market structure, valuation and on-chain analysis.
Before that, I spent over two years at Brevan Howard Digital working across liquid and venture digital asset exposures, valuation, portfolio analysis and research. My earlier experience in traditional finance gave me a solid grounding in markets, derivatives and institutional finance.
I am now looking for my next role in digital assets. Research and strategy are the most obvious fit but I am also open to institutional, venture or broader roles where having experience across both TradFi and crypto is useful.
