Jono Cowling
GTM Lead, APAC @ Blockaid
With over 10 years of experience in business development, I contribute to expanding Blockaid's real-time onchain security solutions across APAC.
More
My focus is on protecting applications, chains, and end-users from scams, fraud, and exploits through innovative strategies and partnerships. Previously, I supported Circle's USDC adoption across APAC, enabling use cases in cross-border payments, remittances, and trade finance. My core competencies include business development, market research, and customer service, which I leverage to drive impactful results in the blockchain and fintech sectors.
