Pronunciation: ee - vah

Business professional and technologist exploring my next mission. Often playing onchain, painting or tasting olive oils.

Previously I was a Member of the Board of Directors for the Optimism Foundation ($OP), supporting access to the onchain future. From 2020-2025 I led ecosystem efforts to launch The Graph ($GRT) and served as Director of The Graph Foundation. In my role I oversaw roadmap development, treasury management and growth, to bring permissionless APIs to blockchain developers. I have also worked with the Ethereum Foundation, MolochDAO, OmiseGO and various consulting clients.

In 2023 I was awarded Forbes 30 under 30 in Finance. One time Elon stole my meme so I sold it as an NFT. Before defecting to crypto, I was a management consultant at Kearney, specializing in financial services.

I graduated from Ivey Business School/Western University, with a focus on Global Economics and Spanish. I'm passionate about languages, speaking English, Russian, Spanish and French - but my favorite tongue is comedy!

I was born in Canada and raised by Russians. As a child, I frequented art galleries, built LEGO kingdoms and camped in the great Canadian outdoors.
