BD and partnerships operator

Business development for crypto, fintech, and institutional finance.

I help teams turn research into the right conversations, partner pipelines, GTM launches, and follow-through. The pattern is simple: do the homework, earn the room, then keep the work moving after the first yes.

What I do

My center of gravity is BD and partnerships, but the work usually starts earlier than a call and continues long after the intro. Good commercial work has research, judgment, taste, and operational memory inside it.

Get into the right room

I care less about spray-and-pray and more about knowing who matters, why now, and what proof makes a conversation worth taking.

Turn research into a route

Market maps are only useful if they become account lists, warm paths, partner angles, and next steps someone can actually run.

Make partners feel respected

The best BD does not feel like being sold to. It feels like someone did the homework and brought useful context to the table.

Keep momentum alive

A lot of deals die after the first good call. I build the follow-up cadence, notes, ownership, and operating rhythm so work keeps moving.

Proof that maps to the roles

For a recruiter or founder, the short version is this: I can open the right conversations, understand the market context, and keep complex partner work from getting stuck.

Enterprise

Private systems

These are private work systems, not public products. They show how I think: research first, state tracked, follow-up visible, and decisions made with better context.

GTM system

SIGNAL

A private GTM, BD, and media-booking intelligence workflow for source-backed research, account dossiers, routing logic, pipeline state, and follow-up cadence.

Markets system

HEARTBEAT

A private crypto market research and execution-safety system for market monitoring, cost modeling, ledgers, risk checks, and decision feedback.

Investor context

Private crypto fund

A small private fund for high-net-worth and angel LPs. The investing work keeps me close to market structure, onchain behavior, and allocator questions.

Best-fit roles

I am optimizing for roles where relationships, research, and execution sit close together. The title can vary. The buying need is usually the same.

BD and partnerships

Crypto, fintech, institutional finance, stablecoins, RWA, onchain infrastructure, exchanges, wallets, payments, and ecosystem growth.

Founder's office or chief of staff

Useful when a founder needs someone who can research, prioritize, coordinate people, and move ambiguous work without creating drag.

Research-led GTM

Strong fit where the role is part market analysis, part narrative, part relationship building, and part execution.

Useful next step

If your team needs someone who can understand the market, open doors, and stay calm in the messy middle, I would like to talk.

Send me the role, the problem, or the kind of person you need. I will tell you plainly where I fit, where I do not, and what I would do first.
