About

Senior BD Leader in Web3

With 6+ years of dedicated experience in Web3 business development, I've built a track record of forging high-impact partnerships that move markets, grow ecosystems, and drive measurable user adoption at scale.

As Senior Business Development Manager at Bitget Wallet — one of the world's leading multi-chain wallets with 90M+ users — I have personally driven $500M+ in swap volume through strategic integrations and partnership pipelines spanning the full Web3 stack: wallets, exchanges, L1/L2 ecosystems, DeFi protocols, validators, and security infrastructure.

My approach combines executive-level relationship management with a deep technical understanding of blockchain infrastructure. I've led landmark integrations with Tether, Stellar, Polymarket, Hyperliquid, Morpho, Blockaid, Hypernative, Optimism, Arbitrum, Polygon, and Solana — partnerships that have collectively onboarded 100,000+ users into the ecosystem.

I operate at the intersection of strategy and execution — building scalable GTM systems, managing global partnership pipelines, and representing organizations at the world's premier Web3 events including Token2049, Solana Breakpoint, Money20/20, and Blockchain Life.
