The women of crypto take over Davos WEF
Many of you closely follow the gathering of the decision-makers at Davos during the annual World Economic Forum. Many of you have very strong opinions about these gatherings, which I share. Right now, however, I would like to discuss what inspired me the most during those five days of the summit. This was my first Davos event, and I could not help noticing how many women decision-makers were present, in stark contrast to similar crypto events happening in Dubai and Lisbon, for example.
Yes, the Promenade at Davos was taken over by crypto companies, exceeding the traditional finance and tech presence, but it was the presence of so many women in senior positions representing every segment of the crypto industry that increased my firm belief that the future of the crypto industry is bright. As operations lead of UpLift DAO, a launchpad for innovative crypto community projects, I interact with our community intensely to keep them engaged, and reach out to as many different sectors as possible.
Irina Berezina is the operations lead of Uplift DAO and has grown the business into a multi-award-winning launchpad that’s blazing the way for the most innovative crypto projects. Since joining Uplift, Irina has grown the platform by $1m in TVL and formed strategic partnerships with industry leaders such as Near Foundation, Polygon and Certik as well as onboarded multiple global funds. Irina is based in Lisbon, the “Crypto Capital” of Europe, holds an Master of Arts in business and international relations, and has extensive connections within the crypto industry.
