General Manager, USA

About KAST KAST is redefining what it means to bank with stablecoins - think Revolut, rebuilt from scratch on Web3. Backed by top-tier VCs, we’ve grown from 0 to 1 million users in under a year. We’re building the next‑gen global bank based entirely on stablecoins. Design is at the heart of everything we do—it’s how we simplify the complex, make money feel easy, and turn crypto skeptics into brand ambassadors. KAST is redefining stablecoin banking for global citizens, crypto professionals, Web3‑native businesses, and high‑inflation markets seeking USD‑backed banking. We’re building the world’s first truly global money app including crypto cards, local accounts, and global payouts in a premium product with top acceptance rates. Backed by leading investors and led by the former APAC CEO of Circle, our team brings experience from Circle, Airwallex, Revolut, Wise, Grab, Zoom, AWS, and top OTC desks. Since July 2024, we’ve scaled from zero to nearly a million users, becoming the go‑to card for the crypto community. By building directly on‑chain, we offer what traditional financial rails can’t: instant yield, flexible collateralised lending, and enhanced investment products. Our cards bring stablecoins to life: spend at 100 M+ merchants, withdraw at ATMs, and enable new ways to access credit. Our culture is velocity × excellence. We move fast, obsess over product quality, and aim to outpace legacy players. Our ambition is clear: to build the next generation of financial services and make KAST the #1 stablecoin bank globally.
