I'm Andrew.
Former VC-backed Founder, Product & Engineering Manager.

Current Leadership

Currently, I'm serving as Head of Brava at Brava Labs, a DeFi protocol focused on creating risk-adjusted onchain yield strategies. I define the product vision and MVP, establish the strategic roadmap, and manage a cross-functional team to bring the product to market.

Founder Experience

As the Founder of Galleon DAO, I led the development of composable, automated strategy tokens on Ethereum, allowing users to access complex DeFi strategies through a single token. I secured $1M+ in funding from top VCs (1kx) and industry angels (Bankless, Anthony Sassano). Starting from a concept, I led the full-stack development, implemented smart contracts, built the Web3 frontend interface, and scaled the project to manage $20M+ in investment strategies. I hired and managed a core team of 6 members while transitioning into a tokenised DAO with onchain governance and growing a community of over 6,000 members.

Product & Strategy Expertise

With 8+ years of experience building in the blockchain and DeFi space, my core expertise includes defining product vision, roadmaps, and strategies for blockchain applications in the Ethereum ecosystem. I've led engineering, growth, and product teams across different companies and domains while translating complex business requirements into successful products that solve real user problems.

Industry Experience

I have a deep understanding of blockchain protocols, smart contracts, and the broader DeFi ecosystem. Prior to my work at Galleon DAO and Brava Labs, I worked at Set Labs, R3, Worldpay, and Sky. Throughout my career, I've created and executed strategies resulting in significant user adoption and community growth through novel DeFi incentives and partnerships.
