I am an experienced operator and lawyer in the blockchain space since 2017. Currently, I serve as Chief Operating Officer of Connext Labs. Connext is the HTTP of Web3, which enables developers to create Web3 applications that can securely interact with users, tokens, and other applications on any blockchain - just like on the web. Our mission is to enable the mass adoption of blockchain technology by creating a seamless user experience while blockchain technology runs in the background. As COO, I oversee all the major functions of the organization.
Prior to Connext, I worked on the Legal and Compliance team at Polychain Capital, the largest digital asset fund in the world, and previously ran all of Research Operations. I’m well versed Venture Capital investing, law and policy, implementing and managing operational processes and the blockchain ecosystem as a whole. Prior to Polychain, I served as outside counsel to early stage startups and advised on regulation and policy, partnership and growth strategy, financing and a variety of other matters. I also led business development, market research, competitive analysis, and partnerships for Fortune 500 clients such as P&G, Nestle and Whirlpool at Pilot44. Additionally, I built and launched TechSquare Labs, a Google for Entrepreneur hub that included a seed fund, incubator, and corporate innovation space.
