Mashal Waqar appeared at Proof of Talk Paris 2026 as Chief Marketing Officer of Octant. Her dated public work at Octant includes the March 2024 company update reporting its second funding epoch, which identified her as Head of Marketing and recorded her appearances at ETHDenver and Schelling Point.
