Berlin, Germany

Hi, I'm Hagan.
I'm a Web3 growth and ecosystem strategist with over ten years of experience building brands, scaling products, and driving adoption in DeFi, fintech, and gaming verticals. I've led growth initiatives at TON Foundation, Bungee, Threshold Network, and Upland, helping scale ecosystems to millions of users and billions in transaction volume.
Along the way, I've helped grow Upland to 600,000 monthly active users, launched tBTC v2 to $60M in TVL, drove adoption of USDT on TON to $1B in supply, and grew Bungee's cumulative trading volume to $24B. My experience spans ecosystem growth, strategic partnerships, product marketing, and go-to-market strategy.
I'm just as comfortable writing about complex blockchain technology as I am developing an overarching ecosystem strategy, building partnerships, or bringing new products to market. Above all, I combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution, finding creative, resource-efficient ways to accelerate adoption and deliver measurable results.
Feel free to contact me via hagandietz (at) gmail dot com.
I completed my B.A. in Liberal Arts & Sciences at University College Maastricht in 2019.
