I am a seasoned consultant with over 15 years of experience in scaling and building businesses, specializing in technical project management and operations. As a serial entrepreneur with two successful exits, I has a proven track record of transforming innovative ideas into thriving enterprises. Outside of this I was previously a Program Manager for Google Maps EMEA, where I managed complex, large-scale projects and coordinated cross-functional teams across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. With 7+ years of experience in the advertising and marketing space, I have also led global integrated campaigns for top-tier brands such as Barclays, O2 Telefonica, Molson Coors, Oracle/Intel, demonstrating a deep understanding of both traditional and digital marketing. My leadership has been pivotal in driving brand success and achieving business objectives on a global scale. In the last 6+ years, I have mmersed myself in the blockchain and Web3 space, where I built a vast network of contacts, including VCs, hedge funds, family offices, market makers, and regulatory bodies. My expertise in this rapidly evolving industry aligns me well with companies navigating decentralized finance and digital assets. Beyond my marketing and blockchain expertise, I excel in technical project management, business planning, capital raising, and operations. I have successfully scaled and exited two software startups and agencies, and continue to apply my skills and expertise to help businesses optimize processes, scale effectively, and reach their full potential.
