Simplifying crypto adoption & regulatory compliance | Founder & Investor | Ex-Binance, VARA & ADGM

I've been working in finance for almost 20 years. Along the way, I discovered one of the industry's biggest pain points – the complexities of cryptocurrency adoption and regulatory compliance. That’s the challenge I'm set to solve. Although my academic background is in Physics, I've been deeply immersed in the financial services sector since the early days of my career. I started as a market maker in interest rates and then FX, but my journey took an exciting turn in 2015. I moved to the UAE. There, I realised the potential of cryptocurrency and blockchain. This shift from traditional finance to crypto has given me a unique view of how the industry is evolving. Throughout my career, I've taken on key roles, including General Manager of Binance FZE in Dubai, where I oversaw one of the world's largest crypto exchange platforms in the MENA region. I've also successfully led various fintech startups, working with both big institutions and everyday investors across different countries. Today, my mission is clear: I guide financial institutions and fintechs through the maze of cryptocurrency adoption and regulatory compliance. My goal is to simplify the complex world of crypto and DeFi, making it accessible to both experts and newcomers alike. Cryptocurrency adoption is crucial for financial inclusion, reducing transaction costs, and enhancing security and transparency. It empowers individuals by decentralizing control, fostering innovation, and providing a hedge against inflation. Follow me for insights on regulation, DeFi, and the future of finance in MENA.
