About

Hi, my name is Alisha. I’m a Kiwi based in Dubai.

I am a co-founder of Firefly — an open-source, open-hardware wallet for Ethereum.

I am also a special advisor to the Euler Foundation and Security Council lead for Optimism. Previously, I was governance and ecosystem lead at ENS.

Connecting Dots

I have a law degree and I am an enrolled Barrister and Solicitor of the High Court of New Zealand. I previously worked at Ernst & Young in NZ and Australia.

I started and automated an ecommerce business with suppliers in China and Japan that ran for a decade. I added Bitpay to my Shopify store in 2014 and had a regular customer who paid with Bitcoin. This was my first introduction to crypto.

I onboarded to web3 through Kernel, an incredible learning community supported by Gitcoin. I participated in Block 3 as a Fellow and went on to become a Steward at Kernel.

I launched a video podcast called Crypto Native and began working at ENS. At ENS, I worked across community, ecosystem, and governance. I was involved in the launch of the ENS DAO and created the Working Group infrastructure for the ENS DAO.
