Head of Operations/COO @Celsius

COOC-level Executive

Over the course of my career, I have developed deep leadership experience as a general manager and senior operator. Before leading a first-of-its-kind cryptocurrency restructuring and liquidation efforts at Celsius, I held significant roles managing Supervision and Regulation at the NY Fed through the pandemic, overhauling an aircraft carrier nuclear propulsion plant in the Navy, managing liquidity and counterparty risk through the financial crisis at Bridgewater Associates, and building revolutionary new platforms for internet infrastructure and consumer lending in startup environments. Each of these positions was leadership-, financially-, technology- and operationally intensive, and in many cases involved complex stakeholder relationships, including managing global teams and service partners.
