Cynthia began her career in risk management and insurance but after working for a tech startup in 2014, she completely fell in love with tech and startups.  To prepare to make a career change completely into tech, she began attending hackathons and co-founded the largest Airbnb host community globally. After working as a product manager and within corporate innovation, she co-founded Altcoin Fantasy, a crypto trading simulation platform that combines the fun and excitement of fantasy sports and crypto trading without the risk, to help people learn about crypto and crypto trading. Cynthia is passionate about advancing women working in tech, innovation and giving back to the community and is an ambassador for Indie Hackers.

“I'm extremely excited to be partnering with NCFA Canada as an ambassador. At Altcoin Fantasy, we focus on driving adoption of new technologies, such as cryptocurrencies, through fun, awareness and education. We share a lot of common interests with NCFA in driving fintech innovation. We believe it’s organizations such as NCFA that will help put Canada on the map as a leader in not just fintech innovation but tech innovation overall. We can't wait to work together to help grow the fintech ecosystem even more within Canada by supporting local homegrown companies on their journey.”  -- Cynthia Huang, CEO, Altcoin Fantasy and Airhosts Forum

“Canada needs more fintech leaders who understand (and prioritize) the importance of education, partnerships and how to move the needle in growing Canadian markets.  Cynthia has been highly successful in expanding the adoption of blockchain technologies and building active communities of practice, and we look forward to her jumping in with both feet on various upcoming initiatives.”  -- Craig Asano, CEO and Founder, NCFA Canada
