Janine Grainger built conviction in a space most people didn’t know or trust. From raising NZ’s largest-ever first-round funding to leading through crashes, cutbacks, and global scrutiny, she grew Easy Crypto into a $3.5B platform before its exit to an Australian acquirer.

If you’re navigating uncertainty, leading with purpose, or thinking about the long game this conversation is invaluable.
