Andrew’s Blockchain & Crypto Qualifications
Coaches professionally
Experience level: Executive
Andrew has helped clients get into these companies:
I advised Coinbase from 2022 through 2024, helping shape AI strategy during one of the most consequential periods in crypto history. I had a front row seat to the FTX collapse, the institutional reset that followed, and the industry's shift from speculation toward infrastructure, stablecoins, and real world utility. I work with founders, investors, executives, and operators who want to understand what is actually happening beneath the headlines. My focus includes market structure, exchanges, stablecoins, governance, incentives, AI, emerging financial infrastructure, and the forces shaping the next decade of crypto. Most crypto advice focuses on trends. I focus on mental models. My goal is to help people see around corners, understand where value is accruing, and develop a deeper understanding of how technology, markets, and human incentives interact.

About Andrew
Breaking into AI or advancing into more senior roles in the field is confusing because most advice online is disconnected from how hiring and real teams actually work. I have spent my career within the systems where these decisions are made. I worked during the early GPT-2 and GPT-3 era at OpenAI, helped shape personalization systems at Spotify that reach millions of users, and designed AI driven onboarding at Coinbase. Because of that experience, I understand how teams evaluate AI talent and how real AI products get built inside organizations. Today I help people navigate their next step in tech and AI with a clear strategy. Whether you are trying to land your first AI role or move into a more senior position, we focus on practical direction that aligns with how hiring actually works. In our sessions we clarify your target roles, strengthen your positioning, and build a concrete plan you can follow with confidence. If you are ready to move forward rather than stay stuck in vague advice, I would be happy to help you map the path. Check out my website: https://www.andmaverick.com/
Why do I coach?
My career has been shaped by moments when the next step was not obvious. I had to break into competitive roles without a clear map, and the guidance I received along the way changed the trajectory of my life. Because of that experience, I know how difficult big transitions can feel when you are navigating them alone. Today I coach people who want direction instead of noise. Whether someone is trying to break into AI, move into a more senior role, or reposition their career, my goal is to help them move faster and with more clarity than I did. When someone is ready to put in the work, I help them turn uncertainty into a clear path forward.
