## About

I’m a results\-driven Senior Web3 Product Leader with 5\+ years of experience and a proven track record of scaling products, launching innovative solutions, and driving revenue growth in blockchain and fintech companies\. Currently, I lead the crypto, liquidity and pricing vertical as the sole Web3 Product Manager, driving strategic vision and execution across all blockchain initiatives at Transak\. I built and scaled NFT checkout solutions to achieve 156% QoQ growth and $1M\+ monthly volume through integrations with industry giants like Rarible, Lamborghini, Immutable and Vechain\. I also launched Transak One, enabling seamless fiat\-to\-smart\-contract onboarding, scaling it to a $100K monthly volume with key partnerships\. Previously at Walfin Tech \(YC S21\), I managed multiple products, including scaling a neo\-banking platform to 800K\+ users and launching a social crypto exchange with 200K\+ users in 6 months\. I created referral programs and retention strategies that boosted user engagement by 10X while driving new acquisitions\. From conceptualising features to executing go\-to\-market strategies, I thrive at turning complex ideas into scalable products that drive adoption and revenue\. My quick learning abilities, great execution speed and an entrepreneurial mindset can be a valuable asset to any team looking to build or scale their product\. I am excited about opportunities where I'm able to work with seasoned product managers and talented people to build products that users love\.
