Web3 Product Lead

A full-stack Web3 Product leader with a Fintech background and 15+ years experience. I’ve recently worked with Web3 Custodian Qredo and previously in TradFi Payments (with FORM3). I've been investing in web3 since 2016 and love the space. I’m a generalist and have a track record in being hands-on in both the technical and the operational sides of growing businesses.

Whether it is defining strategy or helping an Engineer unbug their code, I roll up my sleeves and get the job done.

I'm looking for a team with a mission I believe in, where I can help build out tomorrow's infrastructure.
