Fractional General Counsel · Board Director · Strategic Advisor
I get stablecoin, fintech, and DeFi companies licensed, funded, and board-ready.
I've built operational foundations that let stablecoin issuers, fintech and digital asset innovators, and DeFi teams 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.
