On why he chose to join Halborn as the blockchain security firm’s new COO:

“Security is integral to the success of the Blockchain ecosystem and there is no better organization than Halborn when it comes to Web 3 security.

I’ve known the Halborn team for many years and, as a former client of Halborn, I know first hand how amazing our engineers are. It was a no-brainer when the opportunity presented itself to join as their COO.”
