MNNC GROUP
Head of BD & Strategy

While academia is not a defining factor, Laura Vidiella studied Finance and Computer Science which were a solid foundation for the growth and success in her career choice. She started off developing European environmental commodities markets at STX Group and Covalence, carbon credits being now one of the hottest products across many industries.

The lessons learned there helped her join teams in the crypto industry to contribute and focus on the growth of crypto derivatives platforms such as LedgerX, Paradigm and LedgerPrime's OTC derivatives desk, as well as taking an advisor role at other entities that are building promising infrastructure in crypto such as Enclave Markets and other DeFi protocols.

To foster the industry's adoption she frequently speaks at conferences and is also the Director and Head of Community & Marketing at Women in Blockchain, a nonprofit that aims to enable a diverse crypto ecosystem through education, research and career development.
