Head Of Strategy And Planning

Hi, I'm a Business graduate in Finance and International Business currently working in the cyber security consulting vertical of PWC. 

Have ran an marketing agency before where I personally handled the personal branding efforts of HNI clients which was essentially a lead magnet service from which we upsold all our other services after developing a relationship with our clients. 

Took a break from this to explore the corporate world and get exposure to a scaled out business as well as new opportunities abroad.

Now looking to explore the web3 space due to my interest in blockchain technology and its rising relevance in the future of technology (wrote a research paper in college relating to cryptocurrencies and the SWIFT system).

Due to having a marketing skillset and an overall people oriented approach to business I am looking for roles which fall within these broad categories and am open to try/learn about new roles such as the community manager role which is so popular in this space.

Looking forward to find some amazing opportunities and become an more active part of this space!
