DeFi, Digital Assets & Web3 | VC & Startup Investing | LBS & Berkeley Haas MBA | Ex-Morgan Stanley

I started my career in equity capital markets at UBS and Morgan Stanley, helping banks, fintechs and other financial institutions raise $50bn+ in capital and seeing first-hand how the current system works – and where it breaks. That curiosity led me to a policy advisory role at HM Treasury in the UK government, working on the future of capital markets and discovering the potential of smart contracts and programmable finance. During my MBA at LBS and UC Berkeley Haas, I worked with VC funds investing in crypto and became convinced that DeFi and onchain finance would be a core part of the next market structure. Since then I’ve focused full-time on crypto BD and strategy – across tokenisation, liquidity/market making, on/off-ramps and now building out DeFi ecosystems for Ethereum L2s and Bitcoin-focused chains – drawing on a deep capital markets background to help build what comes next.
