We’re excited to welcome Maud Tezenas du Montcel as our new Head of Marketing at Dfns. With a decade of experience in B2B marketing, compliance technology, and crypto, Maud will help sharpen how we communicate our vision, engage with our community, and position Dfns as the leading wallet infrastructure provider for institutions, fintechs, and enterprises. As secure and compliant digital asset infrastructure becomes more critical than ever, Maud’s expertise will drive brand awareness, product positioning, and demand generation, helping financial institutions navigate wallet security, regulation, and digital asset management.
A career at the intersection of finance, cloud and crypto
Maud has a strong track record of leading marketing strategies for high-growth companies in web3, digital security, and cloud infrastructure. Before joining Dfns, she was Head of Marketing at Synaps, where she helped establish one of crypto’s leading KYC identity verification solutions. She led marketing initiatives for KYC, AML, and decentralized identity, supporting institutional clients and businesses like Jump, Sygnum, Polygon, 1inch, and The Sandbox in meeting compliance requirements while improving user onboarding.
Prior to Synaps, Maud held marketing leadership roles at Stratumn, Oodrive, and Equancy, focusing on B2B growth, brand positioning, and demand generation in fintech and enterprise security. She has experience leading go-to-market strategies, optimizing digital journeys, and executing large-scale lead generation campaigns for regulated industries.
From contender to leader in the blockchain wallet space
As Head of Marketing, Maud will lead efforts to:
- Strengthen Dfns’ brand as the premier wallet security infrastructure for financial institutions, fintechs, and enterprises.
- Expand thought leadership on institutional wallet security, MPC technology, compliance, and risk management in digital assets.
- Drive demand generation and customer acquisition through data-driven growth strategies, product marketing, and community engagement.
- Shape industry conversations around wallet security and compliance, ensuring Dfns remains the go-to platform for institutions managing digital assets.

The demand for secure, compliant, and scalable wallet infrastructure is growing as financial institutions deepen their involvement in crypto and tokenized assets. At Dfns, we’re at the forefront—helping businesses build secure, API-first custody and wallet solutions that meet the highest standards of security and compliance. With Maud leading our marketing efforts, Dfns is well-positioned to set new standards in digital asset security, drive industry-wide conversations, and expand our reach across the financial ecosystem.
