In crypto since 2017, Leah has collaborated with Games4Change APAC, the Alliance for Financial Inclusion (AFI), Blockchain Australia, Women in Blockchain, Women's World Banking, and others, to drive blockchain gaming adoption and impact globally. Leah takes an active role in guiding public discourse around web3, having led content and programming for world-class events including the Metaverse and Gaming Stage at Consensus 2023, Philippine Web3 Festival and the YGG Web3 Games Summit. Via her regular opinion column, Leah authored the first-ever CoinDesk article about Axie Infinity in August 2020 when the game still had less than 500 Daily Active Users. She was also the writer/narrator of the award-winning short film, "Play-to-Earn: NFT Gaming in the Philippines” (May 2021). With a special interest in evolving regulatory landscapes, Leah was an advisor to the inaugural V20 Summit and led communications for the interVASP joint working group, which created the world’s first technical standard to help crypto exchanges adhere to the Financial Action Task Force (FATF)’s travel rule. Additionally, Emfarsis partners annually with the Blockchain Game Alliance (BGA) to produce its annual Member Survey and Report. Leah holds a bachelor of Communications majoring in Writing and Cultural Studies and a Masters of Business Administration (MBA), both from the University of Technology Sydney.

I oversee the management of a private diversified portfolio across real estate and capital markets, with a focus on long-term value creation, strategic structuring, and high-integrity partnerships. My background spans traditional finance and startup environments, with focused experience in alternative investments and emerging technologies. I have held executive and advisory roles across the digital asset space—including regulatory advisory, compliance leadership, fund management, and startup founding. I’ve worked closely with both early-stage ventures and institutional partners, guiding capital formation, governance, and market strategy in fast-evolving environments. My work bridges disciplines—combining regulatory fluency, operational execution, and forward-looking investment strategy. I’m particularly drawn to complex, high-potential opportunities where trust, clarity, and structure are essential.
