Katie Wheeler's Linkedin Analytics

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.
