Creative Copywriter

In the multifaceted landscape of technology and finance, my journey spanning two decades has been marked by strategic leadership, innovative financial solutions, and a pioneering spirit in embracing nascent technologies.

My professional and polished communication skills have not only led me to speak at over 50 events in the past 5 years but also to assume leadership roles where relaying complex ideas in a simplified manner has been paramount to growing organizations. 

I spearheaded the creation of a Thought Leadership Council for NFTs, which organized 30 events in 12 countries and amassed 45,000 global members from the world's top companies and governments. This effort has underscored my dedication to the confluence of blockchain technology, finance, and education.

My transparent and optimistic approach, especially when differentiating the genuine technology use-cases of blockchain from currency-focused talking points in public discourse, has been a cornerstone of my journey.

Unlike many in the industry, I’ve navigated spaces with a transparent persona, avoiding anonymity, pseudonyms, or cartoon avatars, ensuring trust and clarity in all interactions. This is something I feel has been needed to build trust with global thought leaders and executives. 

As we stand on the cusp of a technological revolution with AI and quantum computing, my decade-long outlook to the future recognizes the utility of decentralized and verifiable transparent information as essential, extending from governments and enterprises all the way to individual users.

In the very near future, the idea of having a hyper-performant blockchain at the core of your business will not just be a "nice to have" but rather an imperative tool to enact commerce.

Key Responsibilities:

Partnership Development: Identify, establish, and nurture strategic partnerships with blockchain projects, technology companies, industry consortia, and other relevant stakeholders. Collaborate with partners to explore synergies, drive integrations, and jointly promote the adoption of the Aptos blockchain.

Market Expansion: Conduct market research to identify new business opportunities, target industries, and potential customers. Develop Go-to-Market strategies to penetrate identified markets and expand the user base of the Aptos blockchain. Work closely with the marketing team to drive awareness and demand generation initiatives.

Relationship Management: Build and maintain strong relationships with existing partners, clients, and industry influencers. Serve as the main point of contact for partners, addressing their needs, and ensuring a high level of satisfaction. Act as a trusted advisor, providing guidance on leveraging the Aptos blockchain to achieve their business objectives.

Deal Negotiation and Closure: Lead the negotiation and closing of partnership agreements, licensing deals, and other business collaborations. Collaborate with legal and finance teams to ensure contracts are in line with company policies and objectives.

Thought Leadership: Established myself as a thought leader in the blockchain industry by participating in industry events, speaking engagements, and contributing to whitepapers or thought leadership articles. Represent Aptos Labs in industry forums and engage in discussions to promote the company's vision and technological advancements.

Competitive Analysis: Monitor the competitive landscape, staying up-to-date with market trends, emerging technologies, and regulatory developments. Provide insights and recommendations to the executive team on potential threats and opportunities in the market.

Support your homies.

👆 This is belief and practice that put at the top of my list for how to do things right. And its not just about business, but how to foster real, deep, meaningful relationships.

Danielle Farage is many things to me: a work friend, a colleague, a collaborator and a co-host on the Purple Acorn HR Morning Show.

Over the past couple of years we have formed a bond, a "frentorship" as she calls it. And it works both ways! I learn SO much from her as far as creativity, content creation, Gen-Z $hit so I can communicate with my daughter.

But most importantly, the ability for me to be open minded about things I do not know about. (see: "Gen-Z $hit above). 😆

I lovingly call her "Kid-Sis" as she is my go-to conference running buddy. So when she announced that she was kicking off her latest (and amazing) project, The Underrated Economy, I had to go support her.

And, I HIGHLY urge you to check it out and learn more.

👉 The job market is facing a massive disconnect: essential industries like industrials, construction, and the trades sectors that keep our economy runninghave millions of unfilled roles and are generating unprecedented wealth, yet struggle to attract young talent. 

Meanwhile, millions of college grads are drowning in debt, unemployed or underemployed, and uncertain about their future as AI rapidly erodes entry-level white-collar paths they were told to chase. 

With Gen Alpha dreaming of becoming YouTubers, the gap between real opportunity and perceived prestige has never been wider, leaving us to question what happens next.

The future is now. Stay connected to it our become extinct!

Thank you Danielle for being my gateway to the present & future and being an incredible friend.
