I can help Ethena enable internet money
And together, deliver a crypto-native solution for money not reliant on traditional banking system infrastructure.
Hello, I'm Ollie
I have a passion for Web3 tech and a history of getting excited, getting involved and getting things done. My journey in SaaS started over 15 years ago, led to a decade in FinTech, Web2 Payments, Web3 investing since 2016 and work since 2020.
Some highlights:
- Led delivery of Qredo v2 (Custodian) in 12 months, boosting TPS from 2 to 100, launching Staking, and growing AUC 95% to 390m
- Guided early stage DeFi portfolio manager Thane through defining Product strategy and discovering product-market fit
- Advised to SocialFi project Panjea through to TestNet launch, producing Panjcast, a podcast exploring the project
- At FORM3, built a Platform team of 89 people (14 direct reports, 75 engineers) and scaled transaction throughput 32X to 1,000 TPS
- Optimised check out completions at M&S by 1.5% (£15m revenue uptick) and managed Platform for 2,000+ engineers
I love the buzz of new ideas and the thrill of getting things done quickly. My approach is to discover problems worth solving, identify greatest value, then deliver. I’m looking to do my part to finish the internet and I’d love to work together on it.
