About me, working backwards
🧩 My 30s: Driving innovation in decentralized finance and tech.
Before Stripe, I spent four years at Aave Labs as VP of Business & Corporate Development. There, I focused on advancing onchain finance, including DeFi and stablecoins, and helping shape the next generation of financial innovation and capital markets. Aave Protocol has grown into one of the largest onchain capital markets platforms, with over $70B in deposits.
Decentralized technology is redefining how people connect and transact, and laying the foundation for a more open and equitable financial and digital economy.
📲 My mid 20s: Early to consumer tech.
Early U.S. and global expansion team at ByteDance following its acquisition of Musical.ly (now TikTok), scaling disruptive consumer platforms like Blue Apron (early D2C) and TIDAL music streaming (acquired by Square).
Early foundation in finance and strategy.
Earning my chops in investment banking at J.P. Morgan both in Sydney & New York.
