Hi there! I’m Abi.

I am a product manager, data enthusiast, growth hacker & eternal optimist. I am currently helping build the most prolific web3 asset management solution for self-custodial access to DeFi & NFTs.

👨‍💻 I enjoy building teams, cultures, & products at the bleeding edge of capital markets, web3 & AI.

💡 I believe that the best way to predict the future is to create it ourselves. I’m on a mission to help distributed communities build a more inclusive future with our collective ability to ‘own the internet’.

Apart from leading Community & Growth Product Management at Zerion (we're hiring!), I have also held various other roles in venture capital, computational tech, management consulting, & journalism in the past.

I previously conducted investment & equity research for high-growth AI companies at Radical Ventures, led Wolfram|Alpha’s global expansion strategy, consulted for Dalberg San Francisco & incubated user-driven ecosystems at the intersection of fintech, crypto & AI.

Before NFTs were cool (remember Cryptokitties clogging Ethereum?) back in 2018, I co-founded dBay, a digital-asset aggregator & ever since, I’ve been obsessed with the possibilities that open-financial protocols have to offer every human being with an internet connection.

I was trained in finance, data-science, & economics at Minerva, an elite university deeply rooted in experiential learning & global projects. My formal education took me across the world before turning 21, scaling purpose-driven organizations in 8 countries across 4 continents

Some of them were scaled to positively impact the lives of millions of users globally, while others won accolades on platforms like Product Hunt 🏆.

I consider myself extremely privileged to be doing what I do, owing everything to the beautiful people that have made their way to my life through serendipitous encounters & spontaneous hustles. I currently reside in my favorite city in the world, San Francisco.

I spend my free time experimenting with transformative technologies, manifesting unique travel experiences for my friends, consulting for executives on web3 rails/tokenomics, & planning my next side-hustle.

In my former lives, I was a professional badminton player & toured the Middle East performing the Indian percussion (mridangam).

I’m currently available for consulting & speaking engagements.
