About

About

My background in product spans across a wide range of brands in advertising, crypto and Web 3. I'm a firm believer in the crypto space and its potential to reshape our financial lives. I look after products for New Zealand's largest crypto exchange, Easy Crypto.

Outside of work, you'll find me at various surf spots across the North Island and spending time with my two kids.

We live in Auckland, New Zealand.
