Who are We?: Georgie
Get to know the team behind Grounded!
Grounded was established to fill a gap in the blockchain industry. We are blockchain experts who not only work inwards to assess critical project offerings but also work outwards to connect projects to key investors, users and entrepreneurs. This post is highly-anticipated because it features the forward-thinking millennial who partake in our journey to steer Grounded forward in this dynamic industry.
Meet Georgie, Business Development Executive of Grounded!
Q: Tell me a little about yourself!
A: I am Georgie, Business Development Executive in Grounded, and also the youngest member in the team. I enjoy exploring new opportunities and meeting new people.
Ventured into the blockchain industry back in 2017 and have never looked back since. The growth of this complex and maturing industry is enticing to witness and I am eager to learn more and be part of it. Despite understanding that there could be imminent factors that prove detrimental to the future of blockchain technology, I remain sanguine, having a perennial belief in this technology.
Q: How did you get to join Grounded?
A: I met our CEO, Jiawen at a blockchain event before joining the team as a community manager. A year has passed and things have changed since then. Everyday is a learning process, I am thankful for the valuable insights from the team and new friends I met in the blockchain industry.
Q: How has working in Grounded been like?
A: Working in Grounded is a different ball game as compared to my previous jobs in the blockchain industry, not just because I am surrounded by capable ladies. The pace of learning is impossibly fast, to an extent it can be brutal. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy every moment of it as it is a fulfilling experience. I’m thankful to be surrounded by highly talented and motivated people who possess all sorts of knowledge because they have to wear many hats on a daily basis. Grounded is not about leading “top-down” or a “command and control” way of working, it’s more about self-leadership. We have to learn fast and figure out how to solve problems fast! (I sought for help from the team, occasionally “wink”).
TDLR: Being part of the Grounded team is freaking awesome.
Q: Grounded is about building an empire and leaving a legacy behind. How would you like to be remembered?
A: The risk taker. The blockchain industry itself is a risky space to venture into. However, I see the opportunity and I am willing to risk. Not all risks may pay off though, but we can always look at failure as an opportunity to learn. Innovations cannot take place without some risk taking, let alone building an empire. The level of risk may be lessened with proper calculations and evaluation to the next step.
Q: Let’s get to know you on a more personal level. This or that quickfire!
Q: What is the most useless talent you have?
A: Being annoying all the time. Maintaining a straight face.
Q: Describe your typical day in Grounded in three words.
A: Meetings, Learning, Eating
Q: What advice can you give about life?
“Without deviation from the norm, you will be like me”
Q: Last question, before we wrap this up, what are you passionate about?
A: Like Leon, mechanical watches! Although quartz watches are cheaper and more precise than mechanical watches, nothing replaces the history, craftsmanship and hands-on experience of a well-made mechanical watch. After decades of refinement and technological advancements in the industry, the “Swiss Made” label remains one of the surest signs of quality. German (A.lange & Sohne) and Japanese (Grand Seiko) watchmakers have accomplished great achievements as well. Although I do not recommend watches as an investment, it’s one of those few luxury items that will likely retain value, or sometimes even appreciate over time if you are lucky enough.
