Fractional General Counsel · Board Director · Strategic Advisor
I guide stablecoin, fintech, and DeFi companies through licensing, fundraising, and board readiness.
I've built operational foundations that let stablecoin issuers, fintech and digital asset innovators get licensed, raise institutional capital, and scale. Now I build them for others.
How I Work
I take on a limited number of engagements each year to ensure deep partnership with every client.
I work with founders, boards, and executives building infrastructure for digital finance, AI and FinTech. If you're navigating SEC, OCC, NYDFS, or emerging AI/crypto regulatory frameworks—we should talk.
