Dubai, Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Most people still think crypto is a casino. I've spent my career proving it's something else: a path to ownership, sovereignty, and financial freedom for people who were never invited into the old system. What I do: I help Web3 founders and creators grow through partnerships and affiliates — not ads. I design and run partnership programs that compound over time, turn an audience's trust into revenue without burning it, and make self-custody and ownership simple enough that normal people actually get it. I've built this across the ecosystem: as Founder of Najera Ventures, host of the Freedom with Web3 podcast, a builder of the Algorand community in the UAE, and Director at Startup Grind, where I've helped connect a global community of over 4 million entrepreneurs through strategic partnerships, events, business development, and content. I care most about one thing: that everyone — regardless of where they were born or how much they have — can achieve true financial freedom. That's also why I work to bring more women into crypto with confidence. Featured in Forbes Ecuador for leadership and innovation in technology. Blockchain Award by KogoPAY Group. Recognized by the Dubai International Financial Centre as a top woman in tech. If you're building in Web3 and want partnerships that actually move the needle, DM me.
