Josh M.

Full-time Investor @ Sole Proprietorship

About

With over a decade of experience in entrepreneurship and business development, I am currently working as an independent investor in cryptocurrency, stock, and derivative trading and real estate investor. Prior to proprietary trading, I worked in the technology industry. As Head of Strategic Partnerships at Zapper, I thrived at aligning our goals with the broader mission of revolutionizing mobile payments in Africa and contributing to the company's evolution into a growth-stage company and Africa's largest mobile payment provider. In my first startup role, I served as GM Canada leading a team of 95 employees for the global market leader in e-commerce and mobile discount marketing. I started my career in institutional investment management. This laid the foundation of knowledge and experience that I leverage today in my successful trading of cryptocurrency, stocks, and derivatives.
