Commercial LeadershipStrategic PartnershipsNew Market Development

London | New York

Commercializing what comes next.

I build and scale businesses around emerging technologies, identifying market opportunities, originating strategic partnerships and developing the products and distribution models that drive adoption.

Over nearly two decades across Apple, Drawbridge, Oracle, TikTok, Polygon and earlier-stage companies, I’ve built sales organizations, developed new revenue streams and brought emerging products into enterprise markets, often before an established commercial playbook existed.

Today, my focus is primarily financial infrastructure and AI.

Financial infrastructure

Stablecoins, payments, tokenized assets and private markets, with recent work spanning institutional cash and liquidity management, custody, settlement, collateral and distribution.

AI and platforms

Distributed compute, AI data infrastructure and enterprise platforms, developing commercial strategies and strategic partnerships that bring emerging technologies to market.

Selected work

A selection of businesses I’ve built, partnerships I’ve originated and institutional opportunities I’ve helped bring to market.

Hamilton Lane × Securitize

Opening private markets through a new distribution model

Polygon Labs

Originated and led Polygon’s engagement with Hamilton Lane, supporting the launch of a tokenized private-equity feeder fund through Securitize.

The offering expanded qualified-purchaser access to Hamilton Lane’s $2.1B Equity Opportunities Fund V, reducing the minimum investment to $20,000 from approximately $5M for traditional direct access.

The initiative combined institutional asset management, regulated investor distribution and blockchain-based ownership records to establish a new route into private-market investments.

ProfitR × Fortress

Building an institutional private-credit business

Republic

Helped launch the inaugural offering around a $66.8M Fortress-originated senior secured credit facility, including an initial $20M participation structured for tokenized investment.

Worked across investment, product and technology teams to establish the commercial and operating model, including investor eligibility, custody, servicing, settlement, liquidity and financing.

JPMorgan

Institutional foreign exchange on public blockchain infrastructure

MAS Project Guardian

Polygon Labs

Helped drive Polygon’s participation in JPMorgan’s first live institutional DeFi foreign exchange transaction on a public blockchain under the Monetary Authority of Singapore’s Project Guardian, alongside DBS and SBI Digital Asset Holdings.

The transaction demonstrated the potential for tokenized deposits and decentralized liquidity to support institutional foreign exchange activity on public blockchain networks.

Franklin Templeton

Expanding an established investment fund onto public blockchain infrastructure

Polygon Labs

Facilitated Franklin Templeton’s expansion of its OnChain U.S. Government Money Fund onto Polygon, bringing an established regulated investment product into the Ethereum-compatible ecosystem.

The initiative extended Franklin’s Benji platform, where each share of the fund is represented by one BENJI token, to a new network and broadened the fund’s reach.

Launched and scaled TikTok’s U.S. Travel business, building and leading a 10-person sales organization.

Developed strategic relationships with Google, Meta and The Trade Desk, expanding distribution through integrations with leading enterprise technology and advertising platforms.

Triple-digit

Year-over-year channel revenue growth

iAd Marketplaces

Led Apple’s global channel partnerships strategy for iAd, expanding distribution and monetization through partnerships with major advertising technology platforms including Google DoubleClick, The Trade Desk and MediaMath.

Drawbridge × LinkedIn

Building a standalone enterprise business from machine-learning technology

100+

Licensing agreements

Joined Drawbridge as its first dedicated business development hire and helped reposition its cross-device machine-learning technology from an advertising application into an enterprise identity and data platform.
