title: 'Senate candidate: TOM D'
description: "\nTOM D 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.\n\nThe final Senate will be made up of no more than 9 members,
  however you should vote for as many or as few\ncandidates as you'd like to see represent
  the comminity. The top 9 by total yes votes will instantiate the first version of
  The Senate.\n\n## Bio\n\n20 years working in Finance/Banking specifically Ops &
  Tech implementing and onboarding new clients, applications, and processes. I have
  led global teams to deliver major projects while ensuring good governance and quality
  delivery on time and within budget.\n\n## Related Experience\n\nExposed to Blockchain
  technology and Crypto specifically for a few years, but much deeper in governance
  since investing in the Cosmos ecosystem. Very engaged as a holder in the governance
  processing adding to discussions on Commonwealth, Osmosis Reddit, etc.\n\n## Personal
  Statement\n\nI'm a Kuji holder and very excited about where Kujira goes in the future.
  I see the role of the Kujira senate as being key to good governance while also adding
  value to the Kujira chain and community. The senate will enable Kujira to respond
  quickly to opportunities, but also safeguard against bad players. It's important
  that the senate is as diverse in the background as possible so as to represent the
  entire Kujira community. I believe my experience and skill set would be of value
  to the Kujira senate\n        "
