Building a $200MM DeFi asset manager and DAO treasury management tools, with Mona El Isa of Enzyme

In this conversation, we chat with Mona El Isa, the co-founder of
Enzyme, one of the industry’s leading decentralised asset
management protocols, and founder and CEO at Avantgarde Finance.
She is also President of MAMA (Multichain Asset Managers
Association), and was nominated Technology Pioneer by the World
Economic Forum and Digital Shaper in Bilanz magazine. Mona is a
former star-trader at Goldman Sachs, promoted to Vice President by
the age of 26 and made the “Top 30 under 30” list in Trader
Magazine in 2008 and Forbes Magazine in 2011 after profitably
trading the 2008 and 2011 crashes. She moved to Geneva-based macro
fund Jabre Capital in 2011, before deciding in 2014 that the future
of finance lay in blockchain technology. She studied Economics
& Statistics at University College London. More specifically,
we touch on the magnificent and harrowing journey from
institutional finance during the financial crisis, to family office
portfolio management, to multiple attempts at Web3 and DeFi. Mona
has been through some incredible successes, as well as, harsh
failures. Give this one a listen!Disclaimer here — this newsletter
