Prop 185: Senate candidate: VANESSA HARRIS

VANESSA HARRIS is running for a position on the new Kujira Senate. Use this proposal as an opportunity to signal whether you'd like to see them as a member of The Senate, or not.

The final Senate will be made up of no more than 9 members, however you should vote for as many or as few candidates as you'd like to see represent the comminity. The top 9 by total yes votes will instantiate the first version of The Senate.

Bio

Vanessa is an experienced Product Leader with more than 20 years founding and leading products at Google and Microsoft. For the last two years she has led products in Web3 digital identity and DeFi for a number of Web3 startups. She is also an advisor to three Web3 projects: Kavarii, a decentralized video streaming service built on MultiversX; Valorize DAO, a suite of tools for DAOs on the Ethereum network; and a stealth NFT project launching on Ethereum in early 2023.

Related Experience

Vanessa has broad DeFi experience across a number of crypto ecosystems including Cosmos, Luna, Cardano, MultiversX, Polygon, Ethereum and of course Kujira. She brings a familiarity with algorithmic stablecoins, automated market makers, crypto onramps and offramps, decentralized lending and borrowing, and token launchpads. Much of her experience has been shared through her Youtube Channel, Just Crypto, as well as on Twitter. She is also proficient in the crucial crypto skill of meme making.

Personal Statement

Crypto is important because it allows for true ownership, transactions without a trusted intermediary, anonymity, transparent verification, equal access, freedom from government control and sound, predictable money. We're on the cusp of creating a new financial system that is more fair, more accessible. Yet we are beset on every side with centralized ponzi schemes, cash grabs disguised as businesses and DeFi reliant on inflationary tokenomics to survive. A decentralized economy needs decentralized money. It also needs to grow up. Kujira brings grown up DeFi and grown up governance to the Web3 economy. The Kujira team has shown resilience through the greatest of storms and is building at a rapid pace with a best in class user experience. Most importantly they displayed strength of character in offering KUJI holders one for one redemption on the new Kujira blockchain after Luna collapsed. I believe my skills, experience and passion can help Kujira bring grown up DeFi to the Cosmos and beyond. I would be honored if you would consider me for the position of Senator.
