Stablecoin Ecosystem, Business Development & Corporate Development

As a New York native with a global perspective, I have spent the past decade navigating dynamic roles and driving growth in some of the world's most exciting companies. I believe a career, much like life, is best managed by pursuing what excites you and creates tangible impact. Currently, I lead Business Development and Corporate Partnerships for the Stablecoin Ecosystem team at Coinbase. In this role, I focus on driving growth, adoption, and distribution of Coinbase-supported stablecoins, including USDC and others, through strategic partnerships with exchanges, fintechs, payment companies, and protocols. Prior to Coinbase, I served as the Head and General Manager of StraitsX, a regulated stablecoin issuer and on/off-ramp payments platform based in Singapore. In that role, I was responsible for day-to-day operations, P&L management, and leading a team of over 150 professionals. StraitsX is known for issuing regulated stablecoins like XSGD (Singapore dollar), XUSD (US dollar), and XIDR (Indonesian Rupiah). Before that, I was one of the first international hires at Grab, where I played a pivotal role in the acquisition of Uber's Southeast Asia assets in 2018 and contributed to Grab's historic Nasdaq listing in 2021. My career began in Management Consulting after graduating from the Wharton School.
