  • Governance Beliefs: The redistribution of power from unaccountable structures to the margins – to individuals – is an indispensable path towards positive change. The concentration of economic powers, as they relate to all aspects of commerce, both public and private, has resulted in the subjugation of countless human endeavors otherwise meant to positively lift the human condition. The suppression of truly alternative energy inventions is but one example of this abuse, and even an industry as powerful as energy pales next to that of finance; the “One monopoly to rule them all.”

  • Motivation: Alternative financial technologies are essential for the liberation of truly alternative energy technologies. Only a flourishing, fully decentralized and permissionless financial system can alter the current landscape. Our goals as a Cardano SPO align with our mission to promote these inventions world-wide and our actions as a DRep will always reflect this drive towards decentralized energy and finance.

  • Qualifications: Relevant experience to support governance as a DRep for the Cardano community comes from my daily profession as a Data Management & Governance Specialist for the official stock exchange of the EU & Germany, Deutsche Börse Group, where I most recently headed the definition of the exchange’s group-wide, Data Domain Model. Governance being a deceptively difficult topic for any large scale organization, my approach to the subject comes with great care and methodical attention to detail. I also consistently make efforts to drive the adoption of permissionless technologies within the legacy financial system so as to help shape the regulatory framework as it develops. As presenter of the EU exchange’s monthly ‘CTO Knowledge Exchange’, I recently (October, '24) hosted Midnight’s CFO, Fahmi Syed, to introduce cryptographically secure, selective disclosure to the group.
