    10+ Years in Leadership

I build and scale products, communities, and ecosystems around ambitious ideas. I work at the intersection of marketing, operations, growth, and partnerships — turning strategy into execution and helping projects move from concept to market
Over the past years, I’ve helped teams coordinate complex launches, align people around a shared goal, and grow projects into real, functioning ecosystems. My focus is always the same: bring clarity, structure, and momentum — and make sure ideas become measurable results. My background spans Web3, infrastructure, fintech, gaming, and retail. I’ve led community and growth for blockchain products reaching millions of users, built go-to-market strategies from scratch, coordinated multi-team campaigns, negotiated partnerships, and represented projects on the global stage. Before that, I spent years building and scaling my own businesses, which shaped my execution mindset, resilience under pressure, and ability to lead in uncertain environments. Alongside any role I take, I’m always working on my own ideas — exploring new products, testing concepts, and turning experiments into real projects. I’m always open to new opportunities and collaborations, in crypto, Web3, retail, and beyond, especially where there is space to build something meaningful, scalable, and long-lasting.
