Currently at Injective

GTM and partnerships for fintech and digital asset infrastructure.

I currently work at Injective across institutional and ecosystem partnerships spanning tokenized assets, DeFi, and financial infrastructure, with a focus on distribution, liquidity, custody, and settlement.

I bring 15+ years of experience across founder-led businesses and commercial leadership, including crypto infrastructure and DeFi. I turn commercial strategy into qualified partner pipelines and coordinated execution.

How I Work

How I work

I qualify the right partners, coordinate commercial, technical, and legal workstreams, and build CRM and pipeline operations that keep follow-through visible.

Partner targeting, strategic outreach, ecosystem relationships, stakeholder follow up, and partner sourced pipeline for technical products.

GTM strategy & positioning

Market positioning, technical product narratives, launch coordination, investor and stakeholder messaging, and commercial strategy.

CRM & revenue systems
