Dash Investment Foundation Appoints Additional Supervisors

The Dash Investment Foundation (DIF) has appointed Rodrigo Ambrissi and Ryan Taylor as Supervisors. In addition, Darren Tapp has been elected as the new DIF Chairperson.

The DIF is the world's first ownerless and memberless investment fund that functions as a bridge between the Dash DAO structure and the legacy financial, legal systems to enable the Dash network to invest in its own ecosystem. The DIF is part of a growing infrastructure that supports Dash, Digital Cash, which works like Bitcoin but is more user friendly, scalable, and secure.

The DIF Supervisors are elected by the network annually each June. Shortly after the 2020 election Darren Tapp joined as a DIF Supervisor, Mr. Tapp was elected DIF Chairperson by the other elected DIF Supervisors Hytham Abdel-Karim and Michael Lewis. The DIF Supervisors decided it was in the network’s best interest to fill the vacant DIF Supervisor positions and executed a search to identify appropriate candidates. The search concluded with Ryan Taylor and Rodrigo Ambrissi accepting invitations to be appointed supervisors.

"As elected supervisors on behalf of the network, it is our responsibility to put the DIF in a position to succeed. After extensive research we decided to round out the necessary skill sets to make that possible. Inviting Ryan Taylor and Rodrigo Ambrissi with their significant experience and business networks/media reach to the DIF made the most sense. As an institution we are already seeing the dividends that come with having them as an addition to the team."

Hytham Abdel-Karim, Dash Investment Foundation Supervisor

Ryan Taylor currently serves the network as CEO of Dash Core Group. He offers many years of experience in private equity investing within the fintech industry. Taylor has an MBA with a concentration in Finance and Economics from Columbia Business School.

"Ryan brings a depth of experience and skills which will enable the DIF to be more effective at performing due diligence, assigning reasonable valuations, and ensuring our legal and risk-management processes are enhanced. He has already been instrumental in facilitating the first equity investment in a manner that reduced risks for the network."

Rodrigo Ambrissi is an experienced entrepreneur in Latin America/US as well as a seasoned media personality with his many professional crypto documentaries and Dash Brazil Youtube channel, through which he has garnered many business connections that can and will be an asset to the DIF as an institution.

"It’s important that the DIF supports Dash’s significant and growing user base in Latin America. Rodrigo Ambrissi will help provide that support by bringing a deeper understanding of regional needs and opportunities. Rodrigo Ambrissi has been following the Dash Community since 2016 and became an exclusive Youtuber proposal owner for Dash Brazil creating content in Portuguese for the community. Rodrigo also produced a very informative documentary (available on Youtube) about the usability of Dash in Venezuela, the reality of the local economy, and how Dash became a solution."

The DIF is looking forward to continued community support and growing excitement about the expanded capabilities of the DAO.
