Director of Ecosystem Growth @ Circle | USDC 🤝 AI
With over 20 years of experience in the tech industry as an software and AI engineer, CTO, startup founder and VC, I am passionate about supporting and creating innovative solutions that leverage artificial intelligence, avatars, blockchain and real-time technologies. Currently, I lead ecosystem growth at Circle (NYSE: CRCL), a global financial technology company that helps businesses and developers harness the power of stablecoins for payments and internet commerce worldwide. I am responsible for accelerating adoption of Circle's core technologies by cultivating a high-impact network of developers, startups, partners and communities. Previously, as the Chief Technology Officer at Mursion, I lead the development and delivery of the first immersive, AI-powered upskilling platform to deliver realistic interactive role-playing simulations at scale using generative AI-powered pipelines and real-time animation. More than a third of Fortune 100 companies trust Mursion to help them build stronger teams and drive business growth.
