Exposure to such a wide variety of Client roadmaps, internal capabilities, ambitions andtech stacks helped Seth learn to parse complex business problems quickly, build alignment across teams, set proper expectations, anticipate pitfalls in partnerships and custom development and to mitigate risk accordingly. 
In a past life, Seth held management positions in hospitality, music & entertainment circles and lends that unique perspective to the Token vision and roadmap. As an early crypto adopter and defi enthusiast, Seth is forever optimistic about the potential for blockchain technology to create a more accessible, equitable and climate-friendly future.
