Content creation & brand marketing

...for responsible Web3 projects.

I am a writer and marketer specializing in international policy and regulation for blockchain and distributed ledger technology (DLT). My work has been recognized by some of the industry’s leading companies, global standard-setting bodies, policymakers, regulators and financial intelligence units, including the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and the U.S. Department of Justice. For the duration of my professional career, I have worked to build, market and operationalize transformational technologies.
