Sri Lanka Badminton 

I first represented Sri Lanka when I was 12  years old. At the age of 19, I became the national number 1. I was able to travel the world and represent my country. I loved every minute of it. 

Starting out it was hard, financially as well as mentally.  But through hard work, sheer determination and self-belief I overcame every obstacle. I'm blessed to be able to play an individual sport at the highest level, and that experience still shapes me and reassures me that there is nothing you cannot achieve if you beleive!

Separating the good from the great!

I have been scaling Crypto/Blockchain/ Web3 companies since 2019, hiring C-suit to Engineers.

Most roles ranges from $100,000 - $400,00K per year.

Here are some case studies of how I did exemplary work for exemplary people and companies: 

1. I am the exclusive and retained Blockchain recruiter for the PSG football club, one of the world's top 5 best football clubs owned by the government of Qatar. I successfully recruited their first Head of Blockchain to facilitate the club's transition into the Web3 space and help them earn millions of additional revenue streams.

2. I recruited the entire company (C suit, engineers, and ops) for the former chairman of Macquarie Bank Group, who now runs a 12 billion-dollar hedge fund. 

3. I helped another market leader, Chiliz and Socios, hire a Director of Operations for their newly set crypto team and several other roles.

How do I achieve these results?

I use a metric-driven, scientifically designed qualification process that hiring managers and candidates undergo. Thus, I have a 100% success rate over 500 positions filled and a 98% retention rate.

Founder at Keytom Digital Bank. We offer product solutions for financial management that combine cryptocurrency, fiat and securities.

My name is Eugene Krasicki, and I am a serial entrepreneur and visionary leader who has paved his path through various industries, from manufacturing and fine wine to real estate and banking, with a string of successful ventures under my belt.

With 15 years' worth of knowledge and practical experience, I have created the neobank Keytom that seeks to redefine the landscape of financial services, becoming a single touch point and one bank for all digital assets.

As part of my efforts to contribute to the planet's wellbeing, I have founded SAAPRO, a waste management and resource recovery venture. By leveraging mobile recycling plants, SAAPRO can conduct recycling operations virtually anywhere at low costs and minimal environmental footprint.

Beyond my entrepreneurial pursuits, I have a deep interest in alternative investments, recognizing their potential in diversifying portfolios and generating long-term returns. From fine wine and rare art to other collectibles, I see these assets as not only sound financial investments but also as vehicles for cultural appreciation.

I am also involved in charitable and social initiatives aimed at making a meaningful impact on society. Be it supporting community programs or environmental causes, I am dedicated to using my resources and influence for the benefit of all. My philanthropic endeavors reflect my belief in the importance of giving back to the community and making a meaningful difference in the world.
