In crypto, I was interim product lead at Actalink, programmable payments from non-custodial wallets, where I took a smart-contract payroll MVP from zero to 3 business pilots.
Before that I built Alerzoshop at Alerzo from zero to $160M GMV and ran its wallet, bill payment, POS and stock financing products, and I was founding PM at souKare, a digital pharmacy in Dubai. 10 years across engineering, product and growth.
