He was my go to guy on the ground, especially when it came to Web3. As a Trezor teacher and real Bitcoin advocate, he helped push crypto adoption in a serious way. Couldn’t have done it without him. He knows how to get brands seen and conversations started even in tough markets. Always on time, always locked in. If I needed media, partners, or even a last-minute pitch deck, Brian already had it done."
