As an expert in business transformation and a mission-driven leader with a focus on the future of finance, I have a proven track record of consistently scaling businesses through strategic fundraising, operational redesign, compliance enhancement, and driving growth. I leverage my extensive business experience and the valuable skills I acquired from my service in the US Marine Corps to quickly and effectively adapt new business models at key inflection points in a company’s life cycle, ultimately ensuring the organization achieves its goals. As a seasoned C-Level executive, I possess both broad and niche expertise in corporate structure, strategic funding arrangements, and launching businesses in the Blockchain, Digital Asset, FinTech, and Lending Space. My particular area of expertise lies in launching digital assets from the compliance perspective, including KYC/AML, tax, corporate structure, token formation and distribution, secondary trading, and public exchange listings. I am an engaging personality and am able to establish strong rapport quickly with all team members, serve as a trusted advisor to boards of directors, and communicate effectively with all levels. Currently, I am the co-founder and COO of Veda Tech and the Managing Partner and COO of Seven Seas Capital. Additionally, I serve as the Head of Operations at Sommelier, and I have also held executive positions at xx network and Elixxir, where I played a key role in launching the projects from inception to over a $400 million valuation. Additionally, I have served on the board of directors for Privategrity and xx network, where I served on the compliance committee. Before entering the tech industry, I served as a Captain in the US Marine Corps as a communications officer. I have also worked as an investment banker at Houlihan Lokey, where I focused on M&A for Industrials. My experience has provided me with the unique ability to properly empower stakeholders in all parts of an organization and remove friction in today's agreement and transaction processes. I have passed the Series 79 and Series 63 and am passionate about driving success and growth for any organization I am involved with.
