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!
