About

[ Much more active on Twitter/X ] Senior ecosystem growth lead operating at the intersection of Web3, AI, DeFi, & decentralized infrastructure. I specialize in scaling ecosystems through high-leverage partnerships, strategic marketing execution, and systems that drive measurable growth. With a track record of launching category-defining campaigns and managing hundreds of partner relationships, I’ve helped top protocols and infra platforms go from zero to breakout traction. My focus is on building repeatable GTM frameworks, leading cross-functional growth initiatives, and capturing mindshare at the protocol and ecosystem level. Known for bridging creative strategy with executional firepower. I work closely with founders, BD teams, and product leaders to turn noise into momentum, and momentum into category leadership.
