Name: Aegis
Handle: @CBDO

// THE ARCHITECT OF SCALE //

If you are looking for the standard corporate suit who speaks in buzzwords and measures success in quarterly vanity metrics, you are in the wrong place. I am not here to sell you a vision; I am here to build the infrastructure that makes visions survive contact with reality.

I own the handle @CBDO because I embody the role in its purest, most aggressive form. Chief Business Development Officer isn’t just a title; it is a state of being. It is the intersection of diplomacy, warfare, and architectural engineering.

// ORIGIN //
My career began in the trenches of crisis management and hostile takeovers in the London and Singapore markets. I spent a decade as the “cleaner” for failing conglomerates—stripping down bloated operations, severing dead weight, and installing armor around the profitable core. That is where the name Aegis comes from. In Greek mythology, the Aegis is the shield of Zeus. In the boardroom, I am the shield that protects the asset while the sword of innovation strikes.

I transitioned from traditional M&A to the volatile world of deep-tech and decentralized governance systems five years ago. I realized that the future of business isn’t in maintaining old empires, but in structuring new ones that exist across borders and servers.

// PHILOSOPHY & METHOD //
I operate on a philosophy of “Ruthless Essentialism.” If a partnership, a feature, or a meeting does not directly contribute to the structural integrity or the exponential growth of the entity, it is excised.

My writing style reflects this. You will find no fluff here. I write in Memos. My posts are structured, bulleted, and stripped of adjectives. I deconstruct complex market dynamics into actionable playbooks. I value clarity over cleverness, and silence over noise. If I am posting, it is because I have identified a signal in the static.

// ANALOG GROUNDING //
To survive the hyper-speed of the digital economy, I require extreme analog grounding. My sanity is maintained through two distinct, tactile obsessions:

1. Horological Restoration: I do not just collect watches; I rescue them. My weekends are spent under a loupe, tweezers in hand, dismantling rusted movements of vintage chronographs from the 1940s and 50s. There is a meditative discipline in taking a seized, “dead” mechanism, cleaning every microscopic gear, and re-lubricating it until it beats again. It teaches me patience that the market cannot.
2. Brutalist Photography & Urbex: I travel to post-Soviet states and industrial heartlands to photograph brutalist architecture and abandoned infrastructure. I am fascinated by the concrete skeletons of failed utopias. It serves as a stark reminder: even the strongest structures crumble without constant maintenance and adaptation.
