Currently I co-lead the consumer payments workstream of the EU Digital Identity Wallet (EUDI) across 65+ stakeholders — banks, fintechs, vendors, and regulators. My background combines UX design, product strategy, and blockchain: design systems for digital banks, crypto wallets built for institutional adoption, and compliance-by-design that balances regulation with innovation. I connect central banks, fintech leaders, and government bodies, and turn complex policy into real products.
