Senior Operations

Linkedin

I’ve spent the last 15+ years at the intersection of strategy, cybersecurity, and investigations — working with government agencies and private partners to solve complex problems where trust and resilience matter most. Along the way, I’ve supported threat-hunting teams, built collaborative frameworks, and led programs that brought together stakeholders across sectors.

Now I’m pivoting into Web3 because I believe decentralized tech and communities can unlock new ways to protect people, fight financial crime, and create transparency. I don’t come with all the answers — but I bring an investigative mindset, adaptability, and a passion for learning.

I’m especially interested in roles where I can help connect people, data, and technology — whether that’s in compliance (KYC/AML), research, operations, or strategy. If your team values curiosity, grit, and mission focus, I’d love to contribute.
