About

I am a founder, investor and lawyer, having worked in fintech, energy (including renewables), web3 and real estate. I am the co-founder of Arts DAO (now sold to Zero-To-One) and also the managing director of my family office, investing in real estate across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Middle East. I am also experienced deploying capital across DeFi platforms, particularly devising liquidity pool strategies that generate yield. Always happy to connect, so feel free to shoot me a DM.
