Account Manager And Business Development

Crypto-native BD professional with 3+ years building institutional partnerships across DeFi and Web3. At XT.exchange I own a portfolio of institutional DeFi/Web3 partners, having sourced and onboarded 25+ from qualification through activation. Previously at RocketX, I led full-cycle integrations of cross-chain API solutions for institutional partners — from technical scoping through deployment. Earlier, I ran Italian market entry for Lykke Blockchain, bringing 6+ institutional partners onto proprietary blockchain infrastructure. 

I hold a Master's in Blockchain & Digital Assets (MasterZ) alongside a Master's in Management & Marketing (UPF Barcelona), and speak Italian (native), English and Spanish fluently. 

I'm looking for BD/partnerships roles at protocols, infrastructure providers, or DeFi projects — not exchanges — where I can own technical partner integrations end-to-end. Remote-first, open to relocating the conversation for the right opportunity.
