Candidates Full Name

Mark Byers

Are you currently part of the committee they are applying for?

No

Is there a particular role within the committee that you are interested in, if so which and why? (if applicable)

As co-founder of entityOS.cloud in 2000, I have extensive experience in bringing new technology to market and, through my work at entityOS, in organisational design. I have a deep understanding of the Cardano technology stack, and I would seek any role that best utilises my experience and skills.

What is your experiences within Intersect and Cardano?

I have been an active member of the Cardano community for over 5 years. I am a co-founder of selfdriven.foundation, a community self-actuating platform that utilises the Cardano blockchain. The selfdriven Foundation supports several community sites, including cardano.build, cardanowallets.io, and cardano.ninja.

I have been involved with Intersect as a founding member of the MCC, and more recently as its co-chair, making me a member of both the Advisory Board and the Steering Committee. I am stepping down from the MCC co-chair position to focus on my potential election to the Product Committee.

What are your pledges and plans should you be elected?

I will fulfill my role as a committee member.

Why should the community vote for you?

I bring the experience needed to fulfill the role and am deeply passionate about the positive impact Cardano can have on society as a whole.

Do you have any other Cardano affiliations or possible conflicts of interests, including you as an individual or an enterprise you are associated with?

I am a member of the six-person Eastern Cardano Council, which holds an ICC seat. However, I do not believe this presents a conflict of interest in relation to this committee role.

Are you currently in receipt of or previously received any Intersect or Cardano funding or grant?

selfdriven Foundation has an education grant with MAV100. It will be completed shortly.
