I caught the blockchain bug in early 2017 and have been involved in the Digital Assets industry ever since.My broad experience at every operational level of financial services businesses, from operations staff through risk manager, product development, business development, and sr. management has earned me great insight and knowledge into building, launching and growing complex financial technology services.* Joined Circle in Jan 2021 to create and build our Capital Markets vertical within the Business Organization.
