Hi C***c, I hope you’re doing well. I’m J***e, an HR recruiter at StrategyBrain. I came across your pioneering work at D***d S***d,tokenizing diamonds into a regulated commodity on the blockchain,and was really impressed by your track record in fintech innovation and institutional adoption. I’m partnering with Q***s G***l A***t M***t on their search for a Global Head of Digital Asset Strategy & Innovation, a role focused on defining tokenization strategies for real-world assets and leading a blockchain-based trading platform. Would you be open to a brief chat to explore this opportunity?

Hi C***c,great to hear you’re intrigued. Before we lock in a time to chat, here’s a bit more on Q***s G***l A***t M***t and the Global Head of Digital Asset Strategy & Innovation role, which I think aligns remarkably well with your D***d S***d work: Company Snapshot • Q***s G***l A***t M***t is a leading institutional asset manager focused on tokenizing real-world assets,commodities, real estate and securities,using blockchain technology.

Does this capture what you’d expect? I’d be happy to dive deeper into any area. What does your calendar look like next week for a 20- to 30-minute conversation?

Hi C***c , happy to clarify: • Team size: You’d directly lead a core group of roughly 12,15 full-time professionals (4,5 in product strategy, 4,5 in blockchain engineering, and 3,4 in business development/market research), while partnering closely with our in-house risk, legal, compliance and trading teams. We expect to grow the group to ~20 over the next 12 months. • Equity range: The equity grant for this role is competitive and sits in the 0.75%,1.25% range on a fully diluted basis for the digital asset division, with additional performance-based awards tied to key milestones. This is in addition to a market-leading base and bonus structure. • Flexibility: We offer a hybrid model,most work can be done remotely, with an expectation of in-office collaboration in our NYC hub (or another regional office) roughly every two weeks. We’re also open to a heavier remote arrangement for the right candidate, with periodic travel for team and board meetings. Does this align with what you had in mind? If so, let me know your availability for a 20,30-minute call next week and I’ll send over a few time slots. Looking forward to it!

Hi C***c, Happy to dive into the details: 1. Equity vesting - Standard four-year schedule with a one-year cliff, then monthly vesting for the remaining three years. - In addition, we’ve built in performance-based refreshers tied to key platform and institutional milestones in years two and three. 2. Team growth budget & timeline - We’ve secured a dedicated headcount budget that supports expanding from today’s core 12,15 to ~20 over the next 12 months. - Plan breakdown: • Q2: +4 hires (2 product/strategy, 1 engineer, 1 BD/research) • Q3: +5 hires (3 engineers, 2 BD/research) • Q4: +3 hires to round out the team - This phased approach ensures we scale efficiently, onboard smoothly, and maintain high quality across product, engineering, and go-to-market functions.
