Name: Dr. Laura Reder
Short Bio: Hi, nice to meet you! I’m Laura, a curiosity maxi with a background in Supply Chain / Logistics and Industry 4.0. In 2021, I started exploring crypto and since then, I’ve been stuck in this rabbit hole :D. My background includes a Ph.D. in Management, and I’ve worked in multiple roles in Consulting, Research Institutions, and currently in Software Development for a corporation. In 2022, I discovered digital writing on X and also co-launched a newsletter called “Just The Metrics” to cut through the crypto noise #FollowTheMetricsNotTheHype :). This newsletter led to the publication of the book “A 3-Step Assessment Framework for Layer 1 Blockchains” , available as an NFT. Recently, we started a YouTube channel to dive deeper into blockchain tech space by interviewing founders, developers, and VCs, thus creating a platform to share their deeply technical knowledge.
