Roman Rida
Founder, OverseasDeFi
Roman Rida is the founder of OverseasDeFi. A former enterprise sales professional at Palo Alto Networks, he teaches W2 professionals (30–55) how to turn idle crypto into cashflow using DeFi lending.
Before OverseasDeFi, Roman spent his career in enterprise technology sales, including cybersecurity at Palo Alto Networks — work that shaped how he evaluates risk, vets systems, and explains complex technology to non-technical decision makers. He brings the same discipline to decentralized finance: conservative position sizing, blue-chip protocols, and self-custody first.
OverseasDeFi exists for a specific person: the working professional who holds meaningful crypto — often $50K to $1M — that just sits there. Roman's core thesis is that this idle crypto can produce steady on-chain income without being sold, through DeFi lending and liquidity strategies, managed with the caution of someone protecting their own savings. The brand's tagline is Finance Without Borders; its promise is turning crypto-rich, cashflow-poor professionals into people whose assets pay them.
