Michael Kraus CMO
My name is Michael Kraus, and as CMO of Amygdalus, I combine five semesters of physics analysis with a degree in fine arts. This combination helps me translate the complex mechanisms of our AES Framework—from stocks, forex, and CFDs to crypto assets and the Amygdalus Token—into clear, inspiring learning and brand experiences.
