After five wonderful years at KKR, I am excited to share that I am joining
@JupiterExchange, the leading onchain super-app on
@Solana, as President.
Here’s why.
At KKR, I had the privilege to shape digital asset strategy and to be part of the iconic TMT Private Equity and Capstone teams on landmark deals.
During that time, I built a conviction that onchain finance is the better way to finance - open, accessible, permissionless and self-sovereign.
In parallel, value accrual in crypto is fundamentally shifting from infrastructure to the application level.
What matters going forward is liquidity, distribution, and user experience.
Now, I want to double down on my conviction by helping bring the world onchain, with Solana’s largest super-app.
A lean, bootstrapped team has grown Jupiter into:
- The largest full-stack onchain application, #1 trading venue and #1 DeFi protocol by TVL on Solana, default entry point to DeFi for millions of users
- A product suite surpassing $1 Trillion in annual volume, generating hundreds of millions in annual fees across 12 product lines
- The best community in all of crypto
What excites me most is the opportunity ahead - to help build Jupiter into the default onchain gateway to the world. With a full-stack DeFi platform spanning self-custody, trading, lending, staking, token creation, prediction markets, developer APIs - and soon also stable coins, payments, and an omnichain hub that connects ecosystems and liquidity layers.
I can’t wait to start building with this amazing team and grow the future of onchain finance!
