Gabriel Romualdo

I've been programming since I was 9. Since then I've built 200 products and worked as an engineer and engineering manager at several companies.

Now, I'm the Co-Founder & CEO at Challenger, a company taking on the traditional banking system. I previously ran Thirdbuy, the largest crypto marketplace for physical products.

I'm focused on democratizing opportunity. The internet democratized information, blockchain will democratize finance, and AI will democratize productivity. I'm starting with blockchain.
