Jenn’s Blockchain, Crypto, & Web3 Qualifications
Experience level: Executive
With a robust background in blockchain, crypto, and Web3, I bring a wealth of experience from both the technical and business sides of the industry. As the former President of the Stanford Blockchain Club, I have mentored numerous students and professionals in navigating the complexities of blockchain and crypto. As the Co-Founder of Aineko (a streaming data platform), Head of GTM & Sales at Syndicate Protocol (a Web3 infrastructure company), and Security & Custody lead at Bitski (wallet-as-a-service), I have a proven track record of building and scaling innovative Web3 products. Additionally, by investing in DeFi companies through the FinTech Collective and angel investing, I honed my skills in due diligence, fund strategy, and tokenomics. Let's connect and take your blockchain and Web3 ambitions to the next level!

Why do I coach?
I coach because I understand the pain of navigating through a journey that is riddled with information asymmetry. I've ventured into many unknowns and along the way have mapped systems and people that can place people in positions to have agency in decisions and succeed. With my coaching you'll understand the language, opportunities, and perspectives that is required in wading through the opaque processes and confusing landscapes.
