What I do?
I sit between financial institutions and blockchain infrastructure companies, helping drive institutional adoption of tokenization. I bring an understanding of how institutional systems work across business and risk, combined with deep exposure to the tokenization ecosystem, to translate this into real-world implementation. I help shape how institutions enter, structure, and scale participation, starting with use cases that can actually work across systems, risk, and regulation.
