Nomination Statement
Concise statement on why you are running for the Metaverse WG Steward
As a BAYC holder, and lover of the Yuga community, and long term participant in the
digital asset sector (BTC since 2014 , ETH since 2017 ), I am excited to be running for
Steward for the Metaverse Working Group. Having attended three Apefests, met
numerous members of the BAYC/MAYC community, and hosted NFT HK (nfthk.events)
during the most recent APEfest in HK, I have a strong desire contribute and grow the
Apecoin DAO, and think my skillset, network, experiences make me a strong candidate
for Steward.
As Steward, I will focus on building a rich community ecosystem around Yuga’s
Metaverse projects, support content creators and builders in Otherside, adoption of
APEcoin, utilisation for DAO owned metaverse assets and develop forums, and host
numerous gatherings and summits for encourage of APEcoin metaverse development
I see my role in three fold:
Representing Yuga’s metaverse efforts, working with SC, and other WG
members to promote, highlight, celebrate and share the Metaverse portfolio of
APEcoin DAO
Bringing more metaverse and game developers into the Yuga ecosystem through
partnerships, hackathons, talks and lectures
Creating tools, incentives and visibility for the APE coin in adoption with
ecosystem partners, to drive value to APE coin holders
I believe that Yuga Labs has created a powerful and rich ecosystem, whose value has
yet to be fully unlocked. Through my Stewardship for APEcoin DAO, I hope to be a
powerful catalyst and enabler for this, while building up team and partnership capacity
to co-develop APEcoin initiatives with other metaverse creators.
Motivation
Details on your motivation for becoming an ApeCoin DAO Metaverse WG Steward
I believe in the power of the metaverse sector to drive the multi trillion dollar use case
for web 3 and ultimately deliver the vision of a better future. Yuga has managed to build
an incredible ecosystem and with the appointment of Daniel Alegre (ex Google
executive, former President and COO of Activision Blizzard) as CEO, Yuga is going to
focus heavily on Metaverse. As an angel equity investor in Yuga Labs, I believe in the
long term promise and mission for Yuga to create something similar to Oasis from
Ready Player One.
I had the pleasure of meeting Daniel Alegre in HK during Apefest, and talked with him
and the team. My conversations with him convinced me that Metaverse was top of his
agenda, and where the “rubber will meet the road” for Yuga, and for APE coin. The
Metaverse Steward needs to be a high performing member of the community to support
and drive this vision. After discussing the topic with many friends, and advisors, I have
decided to officially participate as an election candidate.
I am a futurist, a former Teaching Fellow for Singularity University, a data scientist who
has worked with Fortune 10 clients, a web 3 native investor for a multi billion dollar
family office, a board member of a regulated financial institution, a scholar of one of the
most prestigious academic programs in the world, and venture-backed entrepreneur of
one of the most selective startup programs in the world (YC China). I think that the
Metaverse Steward need this caliber of experience, network and capability.
Let's talk geography for a second. There is no doubt that Asia is going to be at the
forefront of gaming market adoption, application development and use case discovery.
Today, According to Statica, there are 1 . 8 B video game players in Asia Pacific,
compared to 0 . 57 B in the Middle East and Africa, 0 . 45 B in EU, 0 . 33 B in Latam and
0 . 24 B in North America. As a fluent speaker of Mandarin and English, with extensive
connections in APAC, I believe that I can easily contribute to bridging the language
divide and onboarding APAC game development expertise hungry to participate in
metaverse use cases.
Over the last 2 years, APE coin has suffered a precipitous price decline. As the
dominant ecosystem token for the biggest metaverse project, a trailing price of 491 M
USD does not and cannot reflect the true value. I see the need for stronger applications
and use cases across the web 3 world for APE coin adoption and utilisation. I have a
vision for scaling the reach, scale and prominence of APE coin as a common metaverse
settlement currency. In fact, I hope to get some ex-central bankers involved in this
effort.
Rationale
Share relevant experience and skills that will bring value to the ApeCoin community
I am deeply technical, having studied computer science and mathematics at Brown
University, before practicing data science and machine learning at Ayasdi, a DARPA-
funded machine learning company founded by the chair of the Stanford math
department and backed by Vinod Khosla, Floodgate and Citi Ventures.
At the same time, I have extension professional and business experience. As a pioneer
in the Impact NFT space, I was able to convince large companies and global NGOs to
embrace and experiment with web 3 . We helped WWF launch the first metaverse nft
collection. We worked with Nelson Mandela’s Peace Parks for their first impactNFT use
case. We helped design dynamic NFTs for MIT Media Labs.
As an entrepreneur building my own company Carbonbase for the last 4 years, I have
had to raise money, build teams, articulate vision, fight fires, solve complex personnel
issues, overcome adversity, and hustle hustle hustle. I believe that this strong
entrepreneurial muscle and drive will be a big asset to the Metaverse Working Group.
As founder and Chairman of ImpactNFT Alliance, we authored a paper for describing
NFTs potential for social impact, built an alliance of 100 + organisations across 20
countries, and hosted one of the first NFT exhibitions in HK:
South China Morning Post – 5 Oct 21
‘Sustainable’ NFT art show in Hong Kong to benefit global charities
Non-profits running projects devoted to meeting the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals will receive proceeds from the sale of art at the Impact NFT Exhibition.
As an early investor in Web 3 for one of HK’s leading family offices, I had a chance to
make many friends across the industry, especially around APAC.
As a Schwarzman Scholar (described as the Rhodes Scholarship of Asia), with a 0 . 4 %
selection rate, I am part of a cohort of 1000 + international alumni from 50 + countries,
many of whom are rising stars in their respective fields of politics, international relations,
finance, business, medicine and art.
As a YC-China alumni (now Miracleplus), with a 0 . 6 % acceptance rate, I am part of a
cohort of the most talented technology entrepreneurs in China, and we are invested in
and part of legendary computer scientist Qi Lu’s network. He was the former Executive
Vice President of Microsoft and chief lead for the creation of Bing.
I have also been honored to be selected as part of the Forbes 30 u 30 community, the
Tatler Gen.T change makers community, the Global Shapers community, the HuRun
(Chinese Forbes) U 30 community - these networks give me 5000 + incredible trusted
links to some of the most successful and influential movers and shakers in the world.
Some relevant other immediate networks of mine include: the former head of game
investments for Tencent cofounder (with board seats on 80 + game companies),
connection to biggest real estate, and commercial family offices in HK, SG, APAC,
founder of top gaming engine in the world (Crytek), family office of largest luxury
company in the world (LVMH), large global architectural companies (Arup, Aedas),
large shareholder of largest viral media content in the world (TikTok), good relationships
with Animoca and Sandbox leadership team in HK, founders of the largest Web 3
communities in HK and APAC (Token 2049 , Taiwan Asia Blockchain Summit, Wanxiang
Blockchain Summit, Korea Blockchain Week, HK GameON Conference, Digital Art Fair)
In a node to MWG’s “Championing data ownership and identity” - I serve as a
contributor to the World Economic Forum’s Crypto Impact and Sustainability
Accelerator, specifically on the Working Group for Digital Identity - where we have
government experts on DID, and self sovereign data ownership.
In a nod to the MWG’s reference of “Laying the groundwork for an E-Sports Initiative to
explore professional metaverse gaming opportunities” - I was selected as the closing
keynote panel speaker for the Future Investment Initiative (FII), funded by the Saudi
sovereign wealth fund PIF. Through the FII, we have growing contacts in Saudi across
business, government and the private sector. Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince and Prime
Minister MBS announced a yearly Esports World Cup to be held in Riyadh, Saudi
Arabia. The Esports World Cup will be held annually starting in the summer of 2024 and
will feature tournaments in several leading esports titles ‘across all genres’. It will
feature the largest prize pool in esports history and will be run by the Esports World Cup
Foundation, a new government-founded non-profit organisation that it claims will drive
collaboration between esports stakeholders and enhance the sector’s sustainability.
Specifications
Further describe relevant experience, including crypto and governance participation, and/or ideas for DAO improvement
Compared to many peers in web 3 , I have far more professional board experience for
both regulated financial companies, global standard setting bodies, and technology
companies that I think will serve me well as a Metaverse Steward.
In 2019 , I was nominated as one of the youngest board member in HK banking history,
and after passing interviews with the central bank of HKMA, was appointed to on the
board of PAO Bank (Corporate Governance | PAObank). Since then, I have
served for the last 4 years as the Chairman of the Nomination and Renumeration
Committee, and sit on the Strategy, Risk, Audit committees. I have extensive work
experience dealing with complex board dynamics, company operating issues, regulatory
response and approval, and senior management transitions, for a regulated financial
entity that manages hundreds of millions of dollars under the supervision of the central
bank.
I have also been appointed on the board of an advanced manufacturing industry
company in EU, where I have worked on complex board issues, helped articulate
strategy, find and outreach to investors.
As a PhD candidate at HKUST public policy, I have worked with the Vice President of
the University in the launch of the Web 3 Lab, the leading academic Web 3 ecosystem
for HK. My PhD topic area is the quantitative research of on-chain DAO governance.
Although I have not participated in many AIP proposals to date, since I have decided to
participate in the Working Group elections, I have been actively engaged in the
APECoin Discord dialogue - and since my participation, the level of engagement has
increased substantially and many other forum members have expressed interest and
desire to participate in metaverse stream.
Concluding Statement
Summarize your statement as to why you are the best choice for Metaverse WG Steward
I am at my core, a team player and a consensus driver. I like to lead by bringing people
along with me, and I am a tireless and passionate advocate for web 3 adoption and real
world use case creation.
I believe that we have the once in a lifetime opportunity to build a revolutionary
ecosystem around Yuga Labs and Otherside. I believe that my extensive real world
experiences can be an invaluable asset to the Apecoin DAO. I believe that I can bring
many business leaders, game studios, and government officials to the Yuga metaverse
ecosystem. The future is bright. LFG.

I read your detailed nomination statement. There is a lot there.
How to get the 2m gamers you amassed into APE?
Attracting a strong gaming community to the ApeCoin and Yuga gaming ecosystem requires a strategic multi-faceted approach. This strategy would involve leveraging the strong connections and trust I’ve established in the gaming world.
Education and Awareness: Many gamers are not familiar with ApeCoin or its potential in the gaming and metaverse spaces. I would initiate a series of educational content and campaigns to inform them about ApeCoin and the Yuga Labs gaming ecosystem. This approach should be methodical rather than aggressive. I have a range of innovative ideas, including commercials and content creator campaigns, to organically raise awareness about our COMMUNITY. The emphasis here is on the word “community.” We should approach these gamers not with NFTs or Crypto, but as a community and provide them with the next steps opportunities.
Gamification and Incentives: We can introduce gamified experiences and incentive mechanisms that initially operate OFF CHAIN, as gamers may not be ready for immediate on-chain engagement. By offering these off-chain opportunities and incentives, we can build trust and gradually integrate gamers into our ecosystem. This could encompass exclusive access to events, tournaments, rewards, partnerships, and content support. These strategies have successfully activated millions of gamers in my previous experience.
Content Creator and Social Media program: Developing a content creator program around ApeCoin and our community is crucial. This includes existing web3 creators and web2 gamers. We must utilize all platforms such as YouTube, Twitch, Twitter, TikTok, and Discord to mobilize a content creator army which spreads bullish sentiment and positive narratives about our initiatives.
Collaborations with Gaming Brands and Influencers: Utilizing my existing relationships with gaming companies and influencers, I would seek to create partnerships where ApeCoin is featured or integrated into popular events, creators, games, and other gaming-related opportunities. Also following a methodical strategy, this exposure would naturally attract gamers to our community.
Community Events and Tournaments: Hosting ApeCoin-centric gaming tournaments or events, both virtual and physical, would provide a direct and engaging way to introduce gamers to our ecosystem. These events could offer many rewards including ApeCoin-based prizes, it will be crucial to create a fun and interactive way for not only the gaming community to get involved, but also our Web3 ecosystem as a whole.
Feedback and Community Engagement: Engaging with the community to gather feedback and ideas on how they would like to see ApeCoin integrated into their gaming experiences. This collaborative approach not only increases engagement but also ensures the initiatives are in line with what the gaming community and our DAO wants.
By implementing these strategies, the goal would be to seamlessly integrate the ApeCoin community into gamers experiences, making valuable, memorable, and exciting opportunities for gamers, rather than just another cryptocurrency scam. This approach leverages both the trust and influence I have within the gaming community, along with thoughtful, engaging mechanisms to introduce them to ApeCoin.

Concluding Statement

I approach this from multiple perspectives:
As a creator who has designed and curated within the metaverse, I have an intuitive understanding of what constitutes the best user experience in this space.
Being the founder of BoredTea and MBA, I possess an in-depth comprehension of the product’s requirements and its integration within the ApeCoin ecosystem. My deep involvement in the MBA community enables me to pinpoint areas requiring further development and connectivity.

But it wasn’t until our first trip as a community that you began to see the dawn of something truly special. The Otherside in my mind positioned itself as a true leader, and I am excited to work with other communities as a representative of the Apecoin Dao.

Posted on: Nov. 23, 2023, 12:20 p.m.
Content: Personal Information
Discourse ID: @shotgun.tobi
Twitter: x.com
Educational Background: Industrial Engineering
Professional Background:
Cross-functional project manager for a multinational consumer-goods corporation. Successfully led projects in Sales, Marketing, Logistics, and Manufacturing, wherein I managed projects of the various business functions in a fast-paced work environment and achieved target outcomes. Projects included process optimization in logistics and manufacturing, negotiating commercial agreements with supermarkets in sales, and launching a new product into the market with online and physical activation events.
Since shifting to a full-time Web 3 career in January 2022 : Moderated multiple NFT projects. Led the marketing efforts of a Web 3 gastropub in Manila that serves as a go-to Web 3 event spot, and played a large role in establishing the IRL Filipino Web 3 community. Currently managing operations, special projects, social media, partnerships, and finances of Boring Security.
Nomination Statement
Concise statement on why you are running for the Marketing & Communications WG Steward
I’m nominating myself for Steward of the Marketing & Communications Working Group because I’m confident that my unique blend of skills and experiences can significantly contribute to ApeCoin DAO.
Firstly, I believe the DAO needs more representation across the world, and having more female voices among the Stewards, and representation from Southeast Asia and other developing regions is important. Currently, many calls and events happen while Asia is asleep, but Asia definitely has a thriving crypto market that we want to have a strong presence in.
Second, I’m one to learn quickly, work well, and get the job done. I’m passionate, driven, and eager to contribute! DAOs are a relatively new organization model so being agile and reliable are key skills necessary in driving the DAO forward.
Third and lastly, I’ve always been very community centric, and I want to ensure that in this DAO, all voices are heard. I work well with colleagues, and community alike, and I genuinely want to listen not only to the big fish, but to fish of all sizes, colors, and shapes in the DAO as well.
Should I get elected as MarComms WG Steward, my mission is to enable ApeCoin DAO to become a community of stakeholders that are equipped with the support, structure, and resources to elevate the brand of ApeCoin globally. The most harmonious way and exact steps will be something I and my co-elected Steward will determine, together with the input of the Community once elected.
In addition, there’s so much ApeCoin has achieved over the past 18 months and these wins need to be published for a greater audience. This, together with a stronger presence across IRL Web 3 (and maybe even Web 2 ) events, conferences, and activities are priorities I’d like for the MarComms WG to drive and achieve.
I know I’m ready to level up my contributions to the DAO, and that this is the right avenue for it.
Motivation
Details on your motivation for becoming an ApeCoin DAO Marketing & Communications WG Steward
I’m motivated to be the MarComms WG Steward because I want to see ApeCoin DAO succeed. I know a lot of people who are familiar with ApeCoin, but unaware of anything much about it other than it was an airdrop to BAYC/MAYC/BAKC Holders. I myself only started getting involved with ApeCoin DAO when I began working with AIP- 133 funded project Boring Security. There’s so much more to ApeCoin that others need to know about; by others I mean Apes, Web 3 degens, and the wider Web 3 scene of DeFi players, gamers, artists, and more.
Rationale
Share relevant experience and skills that will bring value to the ApeCoin community
DAO Experience.
I’ve been working with a mission-oriented and cost-effective DAO, Boring Security, for almost 1 year. Because of this, I believe I have a deep and experiential understanding of what it’s like to operate on the administrative side of a DAO.
Cross-functional training.
The experience I had over at my previous job, though not solely focused on Marketing, gave me a holistic experience in developing my work ethic. I’m able to deliver on commitments, to manage stakeholders, and to be agile when situations aren’t ideal. I also learned how to apply my analytical and creative skills onto practical settings as well.
IRL Community Building.
I’m really one to connect with people and the community. I’m not afraid to start conversations (and follow them through). It’s hard to describe over text, because my energy is really best shared in person. This can bring value to the DAO because should I get into the position, I believe I can represent the DAO well when it comes to finding new opportunities to market ApeCoin.
Specifications
Further describe relevant experience, including crypto and governance participation, and/or ideas for DAO improvement
I joined Boring Security almost exactly 1 year ago, and since then I’ve streamlined work processes, led campaigns and activations, revamped class materials, handled contributors, socials, partnerships, and finances, and created graphics for events, announcements, articles, etc.
I was on the team that organized the first ThankApe Moonshot (the AIP Idea-a-thon on April 2023 ), and I created a series of assets for ThankApe Moonshot Contests (April: AIP Idea-a-Thon, July: ApeCoin Building the Future of Apecoin, August: ApeCoin Builders Grants). I was also on the team that executed the Ledger Quest x ApeCoin campaign last March-April.
I worked with Keepers Bar - a Web 3 Gastropub in the Philippines, which is a go-to spot for web 3 community events, meet-ups, product launches, and more. I worked closely with the owner as the Web 3 Marketing Lead to establish its brand in the local Web 3 scene in Metro Manila.
Concluding Statement
Summarize your statement as to why you are the best choice for Marketing & Communications WG Steward
NFTs, unlike some other parts of the crypto ecosystem, are unique for their power to bring people together, foster communities, and build a brand. While ApeCoin operates as a crypto token, its holders extend beyond traders and charters to include builders, creators, developers, and more from the NFT space actively involved in the DAO’s pursuits. The capability to establish a global brand is definitely within reach, but the DAO needs the right Stewards to set ApeCoin up for success.
My riskiest play in the Web 3 space was never really a trade or a flip- it was leaving my safe corporate path to pursue Web 3 . I’ve been full-time in Web 3 the past 2 years because it’s empowered me to be my most authentic self. Part of that meant applying my creative, yet still very analytical, approach across any venture I get into. My hands-on experience in Web 3 , coupled with a track record in community building, reflects that I’m not just talk. I’m ready to make things happen for ApeCoin DAO.
