With a passion for blockchain technology, years of experience and a proven track record in the NFT space, my unique combination of artistic insight, market acumen and management skills makes me an ideal candidate.

Proven Valuation Expertise: Upon release (April 2021), I have successfully acquired six Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC) NFTs that went on to reach a remarkable total valuation of $3.8 million USD at the all-time high (April 2022). This experience has honed my ability to identify high-value assets and trends within the CryptoArt market. To this day, BAYC remains the most sought after and culturally significant collection in the NFT space.

Some notable individuals to own BAYC include; Post Malone, Jimmy Fallon, Steve Aoki, Justin Bieber, The Chainsmokers, Diplo, Eminem, Kevin Hart, Madonna, Paris Hilton.

Historic NFT Milestone: Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC), achieved unprecedented success, becoming a symbol of excellence in the NFT world. They went on to be sold at the prestigious Sotheby’s auction in 2021. This historic event marked a significant milestone for the entire NFT industry, demonstrating the cultural and financial value of digital art. My involvement in this achievement not only showcases my expertise in identifying valuable digital assets but also my confidence to move forward and acquire those assets, acting upon my market research and taking a calculated risk.

Swift Project Sellout: This year, I have personally orchestrated the launch of an NFT project consisting of 7,777 unique pieces of art, which sold out in a staggering 35 minutes, a rare and surprising event in the current NFT market conditions/mood. This accomplishment showcases my strategic planning, ability to successfully identify as well as source clients, marketing, and execution abilities in the fast-paced world of NFTs.

Community & Team Management Excellence: In addition to my successful NFT sales, I have effectively managed a vibrant community of 700 collectors/enthusiasts within the NFT project that I initiated. This involved fostering engagement, managing my team, resolving queries, project development, NFT collaborations and cultivating a positive environment, demonstrating my strong interpersonal and leadership skills.

Extensive Network: Through my experiences in the CryptoArt industry, I have cultivated a vast network of high-net-worth individuals/collectors and NFT influencers. These connections have not only provided me with valuable insights into market trends but have also enabled successful collaborations, NFT launches and partnerships. I believe this network could be leveraged effectively to enhance your presence and influence within the NFT community.

Strategic Partnerships: I have established solid relationships with top-level NFT developers based in London and in other places around the world, individuals who represent the pinnacle of expertise in their field and are at the forefront of NFT technology. These connections allow me to stay updated with the latest industry advancements and collaborate with innovators who are shaping the future of digital assets.

Blockchain Expertise: My journey in the crypto space began in 2017, I used whatever money I had saved at the time to design, assemble and resell massive multi GPU crypto mining rigs. A few months later, after raising a sufficient enough budget, it was time for me to make my first major move. Over the years I have developed a deep understanding of blockchain technology. My ability to identify market trends and opportune moments has led to my lasting success in the industry. I possess a keen eye for emerging projects and a knack for predicting their potential, allowing me to make informed and profitable decisions.

Entrepreneurial Ventures: In addition to my achievements in the Blockchain/NFT sector, I have successfully founded and managed two start-up brands outside of the crypto space over the last four years. This experience has sharpened my business acumen, strategic planning, and leadership skills, making me a well-rounded professional capable of driving both creativity and profitability.

Remote Work and Global Perspective: I embrace a nomadic lifestyle, working on the go while exploring the world. Last year alone, I spent nine months working remotely across seven countries and three continents, which not only enhanced my adaptability but also enriched my global perspective. My ability to thrive in diverse environments reflects my flexibility and determination.

Full-Time Dedication: NFTs and cryptocurrencies are not just a part of my professional journey; they are my full-time occupation and passion. I am deeply immersed in the crypto world, staying on top of every development, trend, and innovation. My knowledge is not only extensive but also detailed and up-to-date, ensuring that I bring the most current insights to every project I undertake.
