Ondo Finance

Ondo Finance improves the current DeFi-to-TradFi rails and offers access points to real-world assets, bringing institutional-grade products on-chain.

Conceptually best construed as fleshy connective tissue, Ondo does the heavy lifting, integrating all the required parties and compliance components to deliver on-chain access to real-world assets.

At the highest level, Ondo Finance bridges the decentralized and traditional finance landscapes, offering yields from the latter with the convenience and accessibility of the former.

Vice President of Partnerships

Circle

Circle is a global financial technology firm that enables businesses of all sizes to harness the power of digital currencies and public blockchains for payments, commerce and financial applications worldwide.

Circle is also the principal operator of USD Coin (USDC), which has become the fastest growing, regulated and fully reserved dollar digital currency. 

Unlike some other stablecoins we are backed 1 to 1 with US dollars and short term treasuries and we are audited monthly, we welcome the scrutiny and are helping push for regulation within the space.

Our mission is to raise global economic prosperity through the frictionless exchange of financial value.

With over fourteen years of work experience in the financial sector, I am a passionate and innovative leader in the emerging field of decentralized finance (DeFi) and web3. I have a strong background in investment management, financial planning, and business development, and I am always eager to explore new opportunities and challenges in the rapidly evolving digital economy. As the Vice President of Partnerships at Ondo Finance, I am responsible for building and maintaining strategic relationships with key stakeholders, such as Blockchains, Exchanges (CEX/DEX), liquidity providers, and investors, to enable on-chain access to real-world assets and yields.

Prior to joining Ondo Finance, I was the Director of Business Development in Web3 at Circle, a global financial technology firm that operates USD Coin (USDC), the fastest growing and most trusted dollar digital currency. In this role, I leveraged my expertise in web3 and blockchain technologies to identify and execute partnerships and integrations with leading platforms and protocols in the DeFi and crypto space. I also helped to educate and onboard institutional and retail customers to the benefits and opportunities of using USDC for payments, commerce, and financial applications.
