Lina has enjoyed years of immersion in innovation and has witnessed firsthand the transformative and enabling power of technology when put to good use. With years of experience in financial technology, she continues to be driven and inspired by the ever-evolving landscape. Having invested time in capital markets, payments, and compliance solutions, she is excited to be witnessing the present phase of evolution made possible by web3 and AI innovation.
