I’ve been in the room since before Intersect had a name. I helped shape the original MBO vision, built programs to support projects and maintainers, strengthened open source and security practices, and pushed Intersect to engage with the wider industry instead of becoming isolated inside Cardano. I know where the organization started, where it drifted, and where it can still go. I’m running because Intersect needs to get back to being a member-led organization that delivers real value, not more process for the sake of process. I’ll push for stronger technical stewardship, less bureaucracy, better support for builders, and greater independence. I’m not interested in protecting the status quo. I’m interested in protecting what the community has invested in and making Intersect worth believing in again. The change must start at the top or there won't be an Intersect for next year.
