My Passion & Vision for the Future
My journey into real estate investment began with a profound appreciation for tangible assets—the solidity of bricks and mortar, the enduring value of property. At the same time, my expertise in blockchain, DLT, and digital asset markets (TradFi and DeFi), combined with my deep roots in financial and capital markets, has shaped a vision that merges the physical and digital worlds. Real estate, one of the oldest and most trusted asset classes, has long represented stability, yet it is becoming increasingly illiquid and inaccessible for many. This fundamental issue in traditional markets is what drives me: How can these structural barriers be overcome to broaden participation in real estate investment?
One of the most effective answers lies in leveraging blockchain technology and Web3. The tokenization, issuance, and trading of Real World Assets (RWA) are dismantling traditional constraints—enabling fractional ownership, lowering entry points to CHF 100, and transforming real estate into a more liquid, transparent, and inclusive market. By addressing these inefficiencies with DLT (distributed ledger technology), I am committed to driving this transformation, making real estate investment more efficient, democratized, and future-ready for a self-sustaining economy.
How I got to where I am
With over 25 years of experience in financial services, capital markets, and emerging technologies, I have built a career at the intersection of digital transformation, regulation, and innovation. As Principal Consultant at HammerBlocks, I help drive large-scale digital initiatives, regulatory transformations, and blockchain applications—ensuring efficiency, compliance, and new revenue streams. Combining an entrepreneurial mindset with deep industry expertise, I bridge financial, technological, and regulatory landscapes to create sustainable and future-proof solutions.
Strategic execution, regulatory oversight in traditional capital markets and DLT/Crypto Law, digital transformation, operational and change leadership, and business development in the financial industry have been my key areas of expertise. Before founding HammerBlocks, I held leadership roles at Credit Suisse in Switzerland and Asia, including positions as program director, product owner, and operational solution delivery manager. In addition to my corporate career, I have built and scaled startups and served as a consultant for financial institutions such as Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank (Switzerland), Saxo Bank, and Vontobel—helping them conceptualize and implement strategic initiatives while defining new business models.
Building strong relationships has always been a priority. As a trusted advisor and negotiator, I align stakeholders from C-level executives to operational and technical teams, ensuring collaboration and long-term success. Strategic partnerships—both at the client and provider level—are at the core of my work.
My educational background includes an LL.M. in Law from the University of Basel (Swiss Bar Exam) and an EMBA in New Business Development. I have also earned certifications as a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt and Corporate Mediator, along with specialized credentials in Blockchain Architecture, Real Estate Economics (LSE), and Cryptography (eCornell).
Beyond hands-on project execution, I actively contribute to thought leadership in the industry. My work on crypto, digital assets, and blockchain regulation has been featured in Cointelegraph and other leading business platforms (a summary can be found on the HammerBlocks blog). I am also the author of “Hub Internationalization – How Born Globals Conquer Southeast Asia” (Academy of International Business).
