CEO of Crystal aOS (Techstars ‘25)

I'm a lawyer, thought leader, builder, and passionate advocate for responsible innovation that drives efficiencies in business and our personal lives. In 2024, I was honored to receive the Blockchain Leader of the Year award, reflecting my contributions to advancing the blockchain and crypto industry, and named a finalist Thought Leader of the Year at the Women in Law awards. As the founder of b'dasl (Blockchain & Digital Assets: Services + Law), Australia's leading crypto-specialist law firm, I've dedicated my career to providing exceptional legal services to crypto businesses. This commitment to excellence was recognised when b'dasl won the 2024 Outstanding Professional Services award for excellence in services provided to the crypto industry. You can find all crypto policy submissions at https://www.bdasl.com. Driven by innovation, I've created Crystal, the world's first crypto specialist master agent. Crystal fronts a showstopper operating system that combines the humans with the AI agents in compliance workflows. Multi jurisdiction compliance tasks can be done in seconds with Crystal instead of days/weeks/months. Crystal is part of a larger vision being built out by my software company, Crypto Co Counsel, to revolutionise compliance processes in an increasingly complex global regulatory landscape. Through my role as Regulatory Interoperability Lead at DAOstar, the standards body for Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs), I'm responsible for developing legal, tax, and accounting standards that promote interoperability and regulatory clarity for DAOs globally. With a deep-seated commitment to the crypto industry, I strive to bridge the gap between emerging technologies and regulatory frameworks, enabling businesses to innovate confidently and with productive compliance effort. As a teenager I promised myself that if I were ever in a position to make decisions that count, they'd be good decisions based on practical experience. So here I am, now with 10 years and counting of intense experience advising in the crypto industry, I'm more prepared than ever to enter the next phase of decisions that count. Here we go!
