About

I help enterprises and governments go from "we need a digital assets strategy" to live, regulated, revenue-generating infrastructure. For 15+ years, I've operated inside the system - with governments, free zones, central banks, and regulated institutions - then turned frameworks into market entry, partner ecosystems, and commercial outcomes. What I've built: With the UAE Government (RAK DAO / Innovation City): Led commercial strategy and regulatory design for a national digital assets free zone. Built first-of-their-kind frameworks - DAO legal wrappers, non-custodial wallet regulation, AI agent governance - and drove 50% MoM growth in qualified enterprise leads across MENA and Southeast Asia. With India's Finance Ministry and NITI Aayog: Contributed to the country's earliest crypto regulatory thinking - work that shaped policy affecting 25M+ users and 30+ exchanges. With Blade Labs (Hedera ecosystem): Scaled adoption to 2M+ wallets. Led the India-Gulf market entry, reaching 1.8M users. Launched a monetised enterprise SDK that drove 150% QoQ revenue growth. Today at Terminal 3, I'm building trust infrastructure - identity, authorisation, and compliance - for regulated AI and digital asset workflows. Privacy-preserving. Audit-ready. Scalable. If you're an enterprise, exchange, or public-sector buyer trying to figure out compliant identity for digital assets or AI agents - that's exactly what I do. Let's talk!
