At W&S Invest, we specialized in early-stage DeFi investments and decentralized carry strategies. Additionally, we manage a tactical long-only portfolio designed to capitalize on the monetary expansion driven by the 2020-2021 quantitative easing cycle.Before co-founding Finstride, I worked with Coveo, helping businesses integrate AI into their eCommerce and service strategies from their EMEA headquarters in London. Prior to that, I was part of Deloitte's Audit Capture department, where I supported the acquisition process for major audit mandates.
