We’re excited to share that Ayyan Rahman has joined OnRe as Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer, expanding our executive team.
Ayyan brings a powerful blend of founder experience, product intuition, and DeFi-native insight. As Co-Founder and COO at Gateway (acquired by Circle), he led a $4.2M seed round, built a credentialing platform adopted by 20+ organizations with over 2 million credentials issued, and forged ecosystem partnerships with leaders like Solana, AAVE, Monad, Arbitrum, and Gitcoin.
Most recently at Circle, he focused on bringing tokenization and institutional-grade financial infrastructure to market — a mission deeply aligned with OnRe’s vision.
In his role at OnRe, Ayyan will lead our growth strategy, capital relationships, and partner development, helping expand our reach across DeFi and RWA markets. From onboarding key stakeholders to evolving our liquidity infrastructure, he’ll help play a key role in scaling both the platform and the broader ecosystem around it.
“Ayyan brings exactly the kind of vision and execution we need as we scale OnRe into a cornerstone of the on-chain financial system," said Dan Roberts, Co-Founder and CEO.
His arrival comes at a time of strong momentum at OnRe — including key partnerships, core product progress, and early traction around our liquidity infrastructure. Ayyan’s rare mix of crypto-native execution and institutional RWA experience strengthens our position as a category-defining player in tokenized reinsurance — a vertical still untouched by most in the space.
This marks a pivotal chapter for OnRe as we unlock new, scalable yield opportunities and deepen our presence across the on-chain financial stack.
We’re thrilled to have him on board as we continue building the future of real-world assets on-chain.
Welcome, Ayyan!
