Objectives
As a DRep, my primary objective is to represent the builders and support them in creating value for the Cardano ecosystem. I also aim to advocate for real-world use cases and solutions that bridge decentralized finance (DeFi) and traditional finance (TradFi), leveraging my expertise in both fields.
I firmly believe in the potential of blockchain technology to revolutionize the financial system, making it more transparent, efficient, and accessible to all. My goal is to support proposals that promote real-world adoption of blockchain solutions, particularly those that drive user growth on the Cardano network.
Motivations
I want to contribute to Cardano’s strategic direction, ensuring that its ecosystem continues to lead innovation in decentralized finance while upholding the principles of transparency, security, and sustainability.
Having witnessed the inefficiencies and limitations of traditional financial systems during my decade-long career in Swiss banking, I am passionate about the transformative power of DeFi to reshape finance as we know it. As a co-founder of Liqwid, where I've been actively working since 2020, I want to bring my personal and professional experiences to the Cardano community, using them to support initiatives that drive meaningful change.
As someone deeply committed to the growth of the Cardano blockchain, I’m eager to take a more active role in shaping its future by empowering projects that align with long-term value creation and the advancement of decentralized financial systems.
Qualifications
- Over a decade of experience in Swiss banking, giving me a deep understanding of traditional finance and how blockchain solutions can address its shortcomings. - Expert in real world financial applications, with a focus on bridging DeFi and TradFi, currently leading a team at Liqwid to build blockchain-based financial solutions, after having co-founded this protocol. - Swiss Certified Public Accountant (CPA), with a Master’s Degree in Accounting, Controlling, and Corporate Finance, ensuring a solid foundation in finance and governance. - Fluency in multiple languages (French, English, and German), allowing me to engage with a diverse, global community. - Proven leadership experience with a strong track record in strategic thinking, digitalization, and operational excellence,
