Danial Ahmad Azhar

I am a finance enthusiast with a robust foundation in financial analysis and market research, honed through hands-on experience at Crowwd and the Leeds University Union Trading & Investment Society (LUUTIS). My work at Crowwd involved extensive due diligence and financial analysis across diverse industries, particularly within the US market and Decentralized Finance, enabling me to understand and address investor needs effectively. Additionally, co-developing and managing Grave/Zombie Finance, a seigniorage stablecoin protocol, provided me with invaluable insights into emerging financial technologies and the ability to adapt to rapidly evolving market dynamics. My proactive approach to learning, combined with my strong analytical skills and collaborative nature, has allowed me to build lasting relationships and deliver actionable insights in both academic and professional settings. My passion for finance and strategic consulting drives me to continuously expand my knowledge and seek innovative solutions to maximize returns and mitigate risks. Lastly, I also love golf.
