Product, research and strategy across digital assets and financial markets.
About
I’m Hannes, a product, research, and strategy professional with five years of experience across institutional digital assets and financial markets. I’m interested in how financial innovation, blockchain infrastructure, and tokenisation can make financial products more accessible and markets more efficient.
Most recently, I led product and operations at Quartalyst, translating institutional client requirements into products and workflows. Before that, I built Equilibrium’s digital asset research function from the ground up.
