It’s easier to go wireless if you’ve never been wired.//I’m passionate about using technology to expand access to financial services that have been reserved for large institutions and/or the wealthy.My 8 years in China gave me the analytical framework and communication skills to navigate a global financial system that is becoming more integrated yet more susceptible to disruption and change. Bitcoin, Ethereum and decentralized networks enable new ways of organizing people and institutions, but implementation presents a whole net set of challenges. As I was leaving China in 2017, I fell down the Bitcoin/crypto rabbit hole, joining ICOAGE, a Chinese ICO platform incubated by Fenbushi Capital in Shanghai to run their international operations, before shifting to BTC Labs, the advisory and special project arm BTC Media based in Nashville. More recently, I've been focused on the Ethereum space, specifically governance and decentralized finance (DeFi). I spent time at Concourse Open (DeFi Pulse, ETH Gas Station) and three years leading governance at DXdao. I've been writing the Dose of DeFi newsletter (www.doseofdefi.com) since May 2019. Now, I'm working at Powerhouse, which is building open-source software and legal infrastructure to help DAOs make real world impact.//Mostly in Nashville these days but looking for any excuse to go to Shanghai, Brooklyn or Chicago.
Listed skills include Business Strategy, Chinese, Project Management, Data Analysis, and 10 others.

ICOAGE was one of the largest ICO platforms in the world with over $100m that was raised through the platform in under a year. Backed by Fenbushi and the Wanxiang Group, the platform was the go to distribution partner for projects in China. It worked with EOS, FileCoin, Storj, Status, Tierion, amongst others. The platform incubated and helped launch several blockchain projects of its own, including Cybex and Po.et. I directed the international expansion efforts of ICOAGE, working with global projects interested in the Chinese market and helping Chinese projects go global. ICOAGE was shut down in September 2017 and folded into BTC Labs after the People’s Bank of China issued a directive to prohibit ICOs in China.
