Community Manager | Web3 Growth & Engagement Specialist

I’m a Web3 Community & Growth Specialist with 6+ years of experience building, scaling, and leading high-impact communities across Africa, Asia, and global markets. My work focuses on turning early-stage or underperforming communities into active, loyal ecosystems through data-driven engagement strategies, structured programs, and clear communication systems.

At Bitget Wallet, I led the fastest regional community expansions in the history of Web3, growing our African Telegram community from 5,000 to over 80,000+ members in one month, and scaling Twitter from 279 to 80,000+ in two months. I’ve also driven over $1M in NFT sales with Terra Virtua, built Aavegotchi’s African community from scratch, and led community operations for projects such as Shardeum, Time New Bank, and Unidef.

My experience spans community building, social media growth, influencer/KOL partnerships, user acquisition, campaign execution, and cross-functional collaboration with marketing, product, and BD teams. I approach every community as a long-term ecosystem, one that requires structure, strategy, and constant innovation.

I’m passionate about shaping how users experience Web3: onboarding, education, engagement, and sustained participation.

I’m always open to opportunities in Web3 community leadership, growth roles, and ecosystem-building projects.
