1/ Big personal update: After an incredible journey at Fidelity Digital Assets, I’m joining the Hedera Foundation as Director of Business Development, Financial Markets. A short thread on why now, what I’ll be focused on, and where I see the future going 🧵👇 2/ First, a massive thank you to the amazing team @Fidelity. You challenged me, supported me, and helped me grow. I leave with deep gratitude and even deeper conviction in the future of this space. 3/ So why make this move? Why Hedera? Why now? Simple: 👉 The technology is here 👉 Digital asset regulatory framework in the US imminent 👉 FOMO from TradFi growing 4/ We’re entering the next chapter: ✅ RWA Tokenization at scale ✅ Stablecoins complementing traditional rails ✅ AI + Blockchain unlocking new financial services This isn’t a vision anymore—it’s happening. Fast. 5/ At the Hedera Foundation, I’ll help financial institutions & fintechs: – Launch new products – Democratize access – Unlock operational and capital efficiencies – Futureproof their business in a world of AI + Blockchain 6/ Hedera isn’t just another public chain. It’s operated by giants like Google, IBM, and Dell. It’s fast, secure (aBFT), energy-efficient, and predictably cheap. And it’s the most used chain. Yes - more than $SOL or $TRON 7/ The Foundation supports builders not just with tech— But with funding, market access, and strategic guidance to make real adoption happen. DM to learn how Hedera offers grants to builders. 8/ I truly believe: 🌍 The digital economy will be powered on multiple chains, settling and tokenizing trillions of dollars, swallowing up traditional assets and birthing new ones. 💡 We’re finally ready to go from promise to production. 9/ So—if you’re curious about: – Tokenizing real-world assets – Building AI based applications on public networks – Explore ways to collaborate Let’s connect. 10/ It’s day one. I'm excited. I'm energized. And I'm all in. Hello, Future @HBAR_foundation @hedera @The_Hashgraph #HBAR #crypto
