Head of Institutional Growth

"The combination of Solana’s high speed network and SG-FORGE’s reliable, secure stablecoin will unlock new possibilities for both retail users and institutional players in DeFi.” - Societe Generale “[Solana] is also being used to tokenise real-world assets such as US Treasuries. This week, Hamilton Lane, an investment manager with more than $920bn in assets, launched a private credit fund on the solana blockchain.” - Financial Times "This enables accredited, professional and institutional investors on networks like Solana to directly access top-tier funds on-chain in a fully compliant manner as well as ancillary services for secondary trading and collateralised lending, where available." - Hamilton Lane "Another validator client can continue to allow Solana as a network to operate at the cutting edge of how fast distributed computers will allow them to." - Fidelity Center for Advanced Technology “The network has proven to have some of the lowest fees, lowest transaction latency, and highest data throughput relative to other networks. This is where Solana really shines." - Franklin Templeton "The Solana team are titans of the space whose non-consensus thinking has birthed in the most capable blockchain in existence." - VanEck
