Now showing: Global Partner Success Lead, RippleX
Ten years taking new technology to market. Partnerships at Ripple by day, founder of Synx and Stake City, and building CanopyX on the side.
I like building new things and getting them into people's hands. I've done it across satellites, cloud, crypto and now AI. By day I lead partner success at Ripple, bringing institutions and developers onto the XRP Ledger. I founded Synx and Stake City along the way, and on the side I'm building CanopyX, a market for AI inference.
