Marketing Lead

I build growth engines for Web3 protocols.

Over the last 11+ years in marketing and growth, including 5+ years in crypto and DeFi, I have helped protocols scale from early traction to ecosystem-level adoption across APAC and global markets.

My work sits at the intersection of growth strategy, fundraising support, liquidity expansion, and protocol partnerships. I have directly contributed to:

- Scaling over $50M in TVL through staking, liquidity, and incentive-driven campaigns

- Securing $1M+ in ecosystem grants across SUI, BNB, Manta, Sonic, and Somnia

- Closing 300+ protocol, L1, L2, GameFi, and DAO partnerships

- Growing communities from zero to 100K+ with sustained engagement, not vanity metrics

I have led GTM and growth initiatives across devnet, testnet, and mainnet launches, driving 200–500% user growth through structured campaigns, ambassador programs, and ecosystem co-marketing.

I have represented protocols at major global events including Devcon, Token2049, ETH India, IBW, and Coinfest, converting visibility into long-term partnerships and integrations.

What I focus on:

- DeFi and ecosystem growth (TVL, liquidity, staking, yield)

- Strategic partnerships across L1s, L2s, and application layers

- Fundraising and grant positioning with ecosystems and VCs

- APAC-focused GTM and community-led expansion

I work best with teams building serious infrastructure and products that need structured growth, not hype.

Open to growth, ecosystem, and marketing leadership roles, advisory, and strategic consulting in Web3.

I simplify money, markets, and Web3 — and help founders turn their expertise into a personal brand that attracts trust, opportunities, and inbound demand.

With 11+ years in marketing and 6+ years across blockchain, DeFi, GameFi, and AI ecosystems, I’ve led growth, GTM, and content strategy for teams like Router Protocol, OwlGames, UniFarm, and more.
