[\\[1\\]](#cite-id-6KB5lAzwQy0t9PEB) \n\n## Career\n\nOh's professional career began with internships and short-term roles in the traditional finance sector. During the summer of 2012, he worked as a Sales & Trading Summer Intern at Barclays Capital. In the summer of 2014, while still attending university, he was an Investment Banking Analyst at the Royal Bank of Scotland in Stamford, Connecticut for three months.\n\nAfter graduating from Duke University, Oh transitioned into the technology industry. He joined [Oracle](https://iq.wiki/wiki/oracle) in June 2015, working in Cloud Sales Development in the Greater Boston Area for just over a year until August 2016. Following his tenure at [Oracle](https://iq.wiki/wiki/oracle), Oh moved to New York City and joined Bluecore in September 2016 as a Market Development professional. Bluecore is described as an AI-driven retail marketing platform that integrates website, customer, and product data. He remained with the company for one year and seven months, leaving in March 2018.\n\nIn April 2018, Oh entered the blockchain and [cryptocurrency](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency) industry by joining Shift Markets in the Greater New York City Area. The company, a former foreign exchange industry technology provider, had refocused its strategy on providing turn-key solutions for the [cryptocurrency](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency) market, including whitelabel exchanges, liquidity services, and regulatory consulting. Oh first served in a [Cryptocurrency](https://iq.wiki/wiki/cryptocurrency) Business Development role for just over a year.

Staked was a non-custodial staking service provider for more than 35 proof-of-stake blockchains, with over $10 billion in delegated assets. His role continued after [Kraken](https://iq.wiki/wiki/kraken) Digital Asset Exchange acquired Staked in December 2021. Following the acquisition, Oh transitioned to a position in Business Development for Institutions at [Kraken](https://iq.wiki/wiki/kraken), where he continued to work until July 2025. This combined tenure at Staked and [Kraken](https://iq.wiki/wiki/kraken) spanned over five years.\n\nAfter leaving [Kraken](https://iq.wiki/wiki/kraken), Oh took on an advisory role at Republic Technologies in June 2025. In this capacity, he advises the Canadian [Ethereum](https://iq.wiki/wiki/ethereum) Decentralized Autonomous Trust (DAT) on its staking strategy, operations, and fundraising efforts.\n\nIn February 2026, Oh started a new position in Enterprise Sales at OP Labs PBC. His work there is focused on bringing large financial services, payments, and fintech companies on-chain, leveraging the [Optimism](https://iq.wiki/wiki/optimism) ecosystem.
