A Message From The Ferrum GSD Leadership Team
We believe we can play significant roles in growing Ferrum by helping the organization prepare for the problems of scale that come with fast-paced growth. In our newly established Growth Strategy Division (GSD), we are deploying a tested and proven lean improvement strategy that relies on build-measure-feedback loops coupled with strategic discovery sessions to analyze, understand, document, and optimize an organization’s operational, strategic, marketing, technical, and support sectors.
GSD’s role, plan, and strategy for improvement and optimization will continue to evolve as we discover and gather more information throughout our engagement with the organization’s various teams. GSD will take on the following initial strategic focus areas:
- Exciting New and Upcoming Major Ferrum Products and General Product Ecosystem at Ferrum
- FAS NFT Division
- FAS Incubation and IDO Post Launch FAS SWOT Team
- Standardization and Business Growth Strategies
- Public Speaking and Representation
The team at Ferrum’s Growth Strategy Division relates to and believes in the Ferrum mission. GSD’s goal is to help Ferrum redefine what excellence looks like in the DeFi, incubator, launchpad, and NFT ecosystems. We believe that with our combined expertise, we can craft a solid path to helping Ferrum grow the value it provides and solidify its place in crypto as an eventual resident of the Top 50 coin club.

I came across Ferrum Network in August of 2020 as I was scouring about the metaverse for random low cap DeFi gems. I had no idea what I was about to stumble upon. I pride myself on being someone who likes to take a deep dive into the fundamentals of a project, who is behind that project, and why they are doing it. The products that Naiem and the devs were creating, coupled with the rabidly loyal community that Ian had fostered and the incredibly lucrative opportunities that were being offered to FRM holders, instantly turned me into an unapologetic Ferrum fanboy. I am beyond stoked to be a part of this amazing community and team. After seeing the inner workings of how this organization operates, I am more bullish than ever on Ferrum continuing to establish its presence as an absolute DeFi MONSTER!
