SeymourNFTs
Founder - The Uncharted
Jonny’s deep dive into the Web3, Metaverse, cryptocurrency and NFT space has afforded him extensive experience and understanding of this rapidly expanding technology/finance sector.
His recent executive-level responsibilities with Web3 companies, along with engagements at the House of Lords and Magna Carta House, have shown that his knowledge base is not only unique but invaluable to both private and institutional investors.
In addition, Jonny has enjoyed a successful career in corporate advertising – both in a private studio setting as well as in managing advertising campaign teams for global companies such as Nike, Adidas, Lucozade, Pepsi, T-Mobile, Samsung, Ford, Toyota, and more.
Johnny's session will show how some NFT businesses built during the bull run created an unsustainable model by minting more NFTs to reward their holders (and in turn diluting their supply), and share ideas to change this scenario.
Kamil Mafoud
