Envisioning a seamless financial future: an ecosystem where digital capital markets, powered by Distributed Ledger Technologies (DLTs), enable the fluid trading of assets within the Web 3.0 realm. I am an innovative and agile investor & operator deeply rooted in technology and the digital asset space, constantly embracing challenges that foster personal growth. My enthusiasm for learning and connecting with others is the driving force behind my ambition to develop groundbreaking projects and form lasting professional ties. My fervent interest lies at the confluence of established financial practices—including M&A, Venture Capital, Growth Equity and Asset Management—and the burgeoning world of decentralised finance. I am currently pursuing a finance degree at London Business School, aiming to refine my skills and achieve fluency in corporate finance. Concurrently, I am actively engaged in the digital asset community. My professional aspiration is to enter the field of Investment Banking (Sell-Side) or transition into Growth/Private Equity (Buy-Side), with a keen focus on the Technology sector, including Fintech, Digital Assets, Blockchain, SaaS, and AI. The diverse experiences I've gathered from living in New York City, Paris, Santiago de Chile, and London have honed my ability to thrive in any dynamic, culturally varied work setting. My travels invigorate my creative thinking, which I channel into my zeal for the digital asset world, aiming to build a financial ecosystem that is open and universally accessible. From a personal perspective, my background as a dedicated rower and marathon finisher speaks to my strong work ethic and discipline, which I diligently apply to professional endeavors. These traits affirm my suitability for roles in high-stakes, outcome-focused, and demanding business settings. Echoing Denzel Washington's wisdom, I believe in the ethos of impact over accumulation: "You'll never see a U-Haul behind a hearse." My philosophy extends beyond earning a livelihood; it's about making a meaningful impact. Gratitude is my mantra for the present, and generosity is my commitment for the journey ahead, always remembering to extend a helping hand to those who have contributed to my success.
