In the crypto industry, I’ve conducted workshops, webinars, and community meetups to help users understand the nuances of the Telcoin platform, promoting informed usage and fostering a knowledgeable community.
Community Management:

Introduction
I discovered Telcoin at the very beginning of its journey in late 2017, and I’ve been passionate about the project ever since. Telcoin stood out to me for its mission to revolutionize the archaic remittance system—a system that has historically charged vulnerable families exorbitant fees of 8-10% just to send money home. These fees disproportionately impact people who are already making sacrifices by working far from their loved ones just to provide basic necessities. Telcoin’s innovative approach, reducing these fees to less than 2%, is a true game-changer, transforming lives for the better.
Over the past 7-8 years, I’ve watched Telcoin evolve from a business concept into a fully operational remittance platform, exchange, and ecosystem designed to benefit those who need it most. My involvement with Telcoin deepened as I became one of the select Telcoin Community Ambassadors, during this time I co-founded a popular Telcoin Telegram community where users could engage with and support the Telcoin journey. This Council Application is the next step in ensuring our community’s voices are heard as we continue to build and develop the Telcoin platform and ecosystem.
Experience with Telcoin Platform
My Telcoin journey truly began with the first major release of its remittance platform. As a community ambassador, I was actively involved in encouraging users to test the platform, organizing competitions, and distributing my own Telcoin tokens to help foster engagement. I was among the first to participate in the liquidity pools and in-app staking, and I regularly use the Telcoin crypto exchange. I have also been an active participant in both the now-closed official Telcoin Telegram group and the Discord community. Additionally, I co-founded the “Telcoin Power Holders” group, where users can discuss and engage with all aspects of the Telcoin ecosystem.
I have been a part of every major milestone Telcoin has achieved, and I am committed to continuing my involvement as the platform grows.
Why Should I Be Selected?
You should select me for the Telcoin Council because I bring a unique blend of experience, dedication, and a deep understanding of both the Telcoin platform and its community. My involvement with Telcoin from its inception has provided me with a comprehensive perspective on its evolution, challenges, and opportunities. I have consistently demonstrated my commitment to the Telcoin community through my role as a Community Ambassador, where I have helped build and nurture a strong, engaged user base.
My professional background in marketing, business development, and community management equips me with the skills necessary to represent the interests of the community effectively. I have a proven track record of driving growth, fostering communication, and ensuring that the voices of the community are heard. My ability to navigate complex negotiations, coupled with my extensive network within the crypto, stocks and forex industry, will be instrumental in advancing Telcoin’s mission and ensuring its continued success.
Moreover, my personal journey, including overcoming significant health challenges, has instilled in me a profound sense of resilience, empathy, and a commitment to making a meaningful impact. I am not just a participant in the Telcoin ecosystem—I am an advocate for its potential to change lives. By selecting me, you are choosing a candidate who is deeply invested in the success of Telcoin and the well-being of its community. I am ready to take on this responsibility and work tirelessly to ensure that Telcoin continues to thrive.
Why Am I Running for This Position?
I am running for this position because I have been a part of Telcoin’s journey from the very start. I have seen Telcoin grow from a mere concept into the robust platform it is today. The challenges faced by Telcoin, and the way the team has overcome them, are a testament to their dedication and resilience. This position represents the next phase of Telcoin’s growth, and I am eager to contribute alongside other like-minded individuals who are also key voices for the community. Together, we can help shape the future of Telcoin.
Unique Skills, Experiences, and Credentials:
As the Head of Commercial for a well-known group within the Cryptocurrency sector, I manage all aspects of sales, negotiations, contracts, and business development. My career has been built on public speaking, having presented on stage to thousands of people for various companies, including corporate and blue-chip firms. I have extensive experience managing my own events company and have held prestigious positions with companies like Nintendo, Britvic, Pepsi, and LG. I was also a regional trainer for telecom companies such as Orange and T-Mobile, which later merged to form EE in the UK.
My experience in the cryptocurrency industry has taught me patience and emotional control. Managing and creating a Telcoin community has honed my skills in community management, conflict resolution, and ensuring that people’s voices are heard. On a personal level, I have faced and overcome significant challenges, including undergoing three major operations for cancer treatment. This journey has taught me invaluable lessons about life, adaptability, and resilience. I myself am extremely lucky to be here and know that on this journey we have tragically lost some absolutely wonderful members of the Telfam along the way, and I am committed to honoring their legacy by helping to guide Telcoin to its full potential.
Proposed Changes and Improvements

With my background in marketing and business development, I bring a wealth of experience and connections with industry news platforms, exchanges, and brokers.

By voting for me, you are choosing a candidate who is deeply committed to the Telcoin community, has a wealth of relevant experience, and is passionate about ensuring that Telcoin reaches its full potential. Let’s work together to shape the future of Telcoin.
