Strategy and operations · Fintech and crypto
Strategy, delivery and operations for high‑growth companies.
I turn executive priorities into commercial results through business development, go-to-market work, an operating model built for scale and the use of AI methods in daily delivery. I have spent 14+ years in banking, crypto and tech, and I currently lead business operations at Bitpanda, reporting directly to the GM Crypto.
- Business Development and Go-to-Market
- I lead partnerships and go-to-market for new products and B2B offerings, from first opportunity to launch. Recent examples are Bitpanda MCP AI Trading and the Marketplace.
- AI Driven Work Style
- I use AI agents, MCP and LLM tooling in my daily delivery work and in how teams collaborate.
- Strategy Execution and Program Leadership
- Turning board decisions into programs that actually ship, with product, tech, legal and compliance on board. Built and led a team of 8 senior program managers steering ~20 strategic programs with Executive Board reporting.
- Strategic Thinking
- Reading the market against what the business can realistically deliver, and turning that into a roadmap leadership can act on.
- Portfolio Governance
- Portfolio frameworks and prioritization with KPI reporting for the executive team.
- Regulated Environments and Market Entry
- Delivery under banking, crypto, tax and AML rules, plus international expansion and entity carve-outs.
