As the Head of Ecosystem Programs at Algorand Foundation, I lead the strategy and execution of initiatives that foster the growth and development of the Algorand blockchain ecosystem. With over 7 years of experience in innovation, product management, product marketing, and stakeholder engagement, I have a passion for driving positive impact through technology and collaboration.
Previously, I co-led ConsenSys Grants, a program that supported early-stage blockchain projects and social impact ventures. I also held various roles in digital health, FMCG, energy, and fintech sectors, where I built and managed communities, partnerships, and events for leading companies and organizations. I have a background in physiotherapy and computer science, and I enjoy learning and exploring new domains and challenges. 
Very happy to have done my part in ~$7BN public & private shareholder value creation events/exits as an exec. (So far!)
