This is the 2nd episode of a new series I started called ‘Becoming a Web3 CFO’ - where I dive into the inspiring stories of accounting & finance professionals who transitioned from traditional finance to web3.
In Episode 48, I speak with Jozef Vogel, the newly appointed VP of Finance and Operations at Ether.fi, a decentralized non-custodial ETH staking protocol.
And previously Jozef had been the Financial Controller at Aave, one of the most well-known decentralized lending & borrowing protocols.
Jozef is a highly sought-after crypto accountant as he has proven he can marry the best of both worlds in setting up the finance function of a web3 startup, that is using a combination of digital asset tracking tools and traditional ERP, payroll and treasury management solutions.
