At Nexum Capital, our mission is to weave blockchain technology seamlessly into financial transactions, always with an eye towards regulation. As the Chief Legal & Policy Officer, the team and I lead the charge on creating compliant frameworks within the financial services ecosystem. It's about more than just understanding the law; it's about shaping it to fit an ever-evolving technological landscape. Previously, as President, Americas and Global Chief Legal Officer at Merkle Science, I honed my skills in cryptocurrency risk intelligence and compliance. We developed tools to outpace bad actors in the crypto space, furthering the industry's robust and secure expansion. Here at Nexum, I leverage this expertise to ensure our services not only meet but exceed regulatory expectations, fostering trust and innovation in the financial sector.
