It doesn’t matter if I’m negotiating an agreement, steering an acquisition process, or managing an “out there” request—I work tirelessly to make things happen. Beyond my unmatched work ethic, colleagues know me for my ability to spark strong relationships in an instant.my work experience speaks for itself...
Pantera Capital
Partner
Apr 2014 – Present
At Pantera I’m a swiss army knife: I have my hand in a number of activities. On any given day I might work with a company to negotiate a new deal, delegate operational tasks to our team, or solve problems for our portfolio companies.
I’m passionate about how the blockchain will bring transparency, efficiency, and cost-savings for institutions and corporations.
My favorite part of my role is learning about new technologies or products that are going to revolutionize how value is transferred among different parties. Some achievements I’m proud of include:
* Closed 15 venture investments; sourcing most of them, securing $70M in subsequent funding and facilitating 1 acquisition
* Authoring monthly investor letters and speaking at industry events; I enjoy serving
as a resource for other venture capitalists
* Building relationships with incubators, startups, and institutions and discovering unexpected, but valuable opportunities for everyone involvedChangeTip

Golden Gate Ventures
Mentor

As someone with a strong curiosity for Southeast Asia’s entrepreneurial ecosystem, working with this incubator was a natural step. I’ve advised Golden Gate’s leadership on everything from product management and business development, to social media strategies, user acquisition, and data analytics.
I listen and really get to know people
The understanding I build allows me to close deals confidently and match startups with the resources and strategies they need into order to be successful.
