Business Development Representative

Sofia Lacerda Soares - Business Development and Operations Specialist

With a strong foundation in business administration and information systems, combined with hands-on experience in various roles across the fintech, tech, and consulting sectors, I am passionate about driving growth and fostering strategic partnerships within the web3 and blockchain space. I have a proven track record in business development, operations, and cross-functional collaboration, having successfully led initiatives in liquid staking startups and managed key relationships with decision-makers in tech companies, startups, and fintechs in Brazil.

I thrive in dynamic environments where innovation and community engagement are paramount. My experience as a Head of Operations at Stake Together has honed my ability to optimize processes and align operations with strategic goals, ensuring efficiency and growth. Additionally, my role as a Business Development Representative for ICP in Brazil has sharpened my skills in identifying and qualifying potential partnership leads, and effectively communicating value propositions to align with the needs of diverse clients.

I am currently seeking non-technical roles in business development, partnership management, sales, analyst positions, account management, LATAM representation, growth, or operations within the web3/blockchain industry. I bring a unique blend of strategic thinking, operational excellence, and a deep understanding of the LATAM market, making me an ideal candidate for organizations looking to expand their presence in this vibrant region.

Fluent in English, Portuguese, and with intermediate French proficiency, I am well-equipped to engage with diverse stakeholders across global markets. Based in Valencia, Spain, I am ready to leverage my skills and experience to contribute to the growth and success of forward-thinking organizations in the blockchain space.
