Strategic User Researcher at STOKR

Context

In the last five months of the 2018, with Sicos Team as I worked in a fast and thriving work environment. Yes, travelling between three locations – Hamburgh, Berlin, Luxemburg – meant that I was working remotely very often. This gave me sense of autonomy, purpose and responsibility.

Sicos developed a crowd investment P2P platform powered by blockchain technology – STOKR. As Innovation Consultant, I helped the team with an interdisciplinary approach to deliver insights and solve problems in different fields: UX, Strategy, Marketing, Business Development.

My tasks

My action research occurred often during networking events and conferences, as the company spokesperson, I generated and curated relationship with investors, venture capitalist as well as startups founders. By listening and asking questions, I could identife problems and feelings related to the financial market and the investing world. I learnt more about the potential disruptive impact of the new economy: Token Economics. My user research skillset detected needs and new questions as drivers of change and improvement to the platform design experience.
