About

I have extensive experience in investment analysis and management, having held key positions at several prominent institutions. This experience includes serving as a front-end analyst, responsible for building financial models, project evaluation, and credit analysis to drive investment decisions and strategy development; and as a senior front-end analyst at Kraken, where I oversaw complex data analysis, developed analytical strategies, and mentored junior analysts, focusing on blockchain and investment decision-making. At CHANEL, I first served as an investment analyst and later became an investment manager, responsible for leading global macroeconomic and industry trend analysis, identifying emerging investment opportunities, and enhancing risk analysis and investment decision-making capabilities. I also serve as a board member and advisor, leveraging my industry expertise to drive company growth and provide professional advice to early-stage startups on financing, recruiting strategies, and market expansion
