Alumni Spotlight: Dennis Blatt – A Global Success Story

During a recent visit to Dubai, Eric Sanchez VP of Programs and Advancement had the privilege of meeting Dennis Blatt ‘11 in Dubai, an accomplished alumnus whose journey exemplifies the lifelong impact of St. John’s Northwestern Academies.

Originally from Germany, Dennis arrived at SJNA with uncertainty about what lay ahead. However, his time at the Academy provided him with a strong foundation, instilling in him the structure, discipline, and leadership skills that have been instrumental in shaping his career.

While at SJNA, Dennis was a dedicated member of the Lancer soccer and basketball teams. After graduating, he pursued his university studies in China before embarking on an international career in cryptocurrency and blockchain technology. He has gained valuable experience in the industry, and today, he resides in Dubai as the Head of Listings and Research for Binance US, and previously served as the Director of Binance Lithuania, an entity affiliated with one of the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchanges.

Beyond his professional achievements, Dennis is fluent in Mandarin, reflecting his global mindset and adaptability. He remains deeply connected to the SJNA community and is particularly inspired by the Academy’s alumni initiatives and ongoing developments, including the ERA program, which he sees as a vital step toward the institution’s future success.

Dennis is a powerful reminder of how SJNA fosters lifelong connections and equips students with the skills to excel in an ever-evolving world. He previously won the bid at Excalibur to rename Farrand Lane to Bitcoin Lane.
