As General Counsel of 0x, I lead the legal, policy, regulatory, corporate governance, and compliance functions of a global FinTech software firm that provides infrastructure for tokenizing value on public blockchains. With over 15 years of experience in the financial regulatory, securities, FinTech, and legal industries, I leverage my background with the SEC and two global law firms to swiftly address complex issues and enable growth and compliance in dynamic or uncertain legal contexts. My core competencies include advising startups, financial sponsors, funds, regulated entities, and service providers on launching new businesses in regulated spaces or spaces with developing regulatory mandates; legal and compliance aspects of FinTech ventures; leading engagement with regulatory bodies worldwide; conducting and resolving civil and criminal enforcement inquiries and litigation matters; and acting as outside General Counsel for startups and legacy entities in regulated industries. I also serve as Vice Chair of the FinTech Regulation and Enforcement Committee of the D.C. Bar, and as an Advisor to a VC fund investing in seed and pre-seed FinTech entities. I am passionate about advancing the innovation and adoption of blockchain technology and digital assets, and supporting the global FinTech ecosystem.
