Bio

I joined Fireblocks in 2019 because I believed that the team could solve the issue of creating scalable, secure infrastructure for digital assets. I've known CEO and Co-founder, Michael Shaulov, since the inception of the company, and believed that in order for digital asset adoption to happen, an infrastructure had to be in place that could create capital markets use cases in which assets needed to be in motion to drive revenue. Fireblocks streamlines operations by bringing exchanges, counterparties and wallet infrastructure into one platform. Wallets, deposit addresses, and API credentials are secured using patent-pending chip isolation technology and the newest breakthrough in cryptography (MPC-CMP). Institutions are using Fireblocks to move funds securely in seconds – instead of hours. We’re helping more than 1,600 of the biggest financial institutions securely transfer digital assets. Previously, I was a Strategy Sr. Manager at Accenture where I worked with Financial Services companies to think about launching new products in an agile and digitally driven way. Prior to that, I worked at a financial institution which serviced digital asset based companies. We focused on providing banking and settlement services for large exchanges and financial institutions in the digital asset space. I led the product strategy and general strategy for that company. In my free time, I enjoy cycling, learning about wines and cooking. Usually when I am not working, I am doing one of those things.
