About

Building and advising at the intersection of institutional financial markets and digital assets. Currently co-founding Ocuros, reimagining dark pool execution with cryptography for institutional OTC crypto markets. I also run Future State Finance, a strategic advisory practice focused on product strategy, go-to-market, and commercial execution for firms navigating the institutional digital assets space. My previous career spans twenty years operating across institutional financial markets and financial technology, developing deep expertise across FX, electronic trading, financial data, financial risk and digital assets. Fourteen years at Bloomberg took me across product strategy, sales leadership on three continents, and ultimately ownership of the firm’s global digital assets agenda.
