Parinaz Firozi
I have 12 years of combined experience in both finance and operations. I head Global Markets and previously lead business strategy for a blockchain A16Z funded startup. I am a Venture Partner, an investor in real estate, and advisor to early-stage startups. Previously I worked at the World Bank's venture capital team focusing on consumer investments. I was also the Managing Director of Jumia Kenya, the largest e-commerce platform in Kenya that is a part of Jumia Group (Africa's first unicorn) where I scaled the organization to 29x GMV and 250 people. I started my career in investment banking at JPMorgan.
