• Strategic Integration: Collaborate with members of the team who are responsible for the operational, technical, and business execution of blockchain integration in portfolio companies, ensuring a smooth transition and alignment with Inversion’s strategic objectives.
• Team Leadership: Manage a small investment team, including 1-2 associates initially, providing leadership and direction in the execution of transactions and post-acquisition integration.
