Dear Fantomians,

It’s been a while since we announced the acquisition of new team members, but we’re extremely proud to announce that our office in Dubai and the UAE will be strengthened by our most recent talent acquisition, Samuel Harcourt.

Samuel is joining the Foundation as a business developer focusing on adoption of Fantom technology in the UAE, and in furthering our push towards building an inclusive DeFi ecosystem. Samuel will be focusing on three specific verticals for Fantom: Independent Networks, Tokenisation of Contemporary Capital and Proof of Existence.

Previously, Samuel has been running a crypto desk which helped to raise funds for various private ventures in Sydney and its surroundings, through which he has been able to garner a reputation and strong institutional connections around the globe. He also served in the Australian army previously.

What we want to signal through our acquisition of Samuel’s talent isn’t just our search for individuals with strong working credentials, but also the presence of a strong set of values and ethics.We believe that his sense of solidarity and responsibility that led to his participation in national service will be a valuable asset and positive influence on the rest of the business development team.

Fantom is in a constant search for talent and individuals with unique skillsets, regardless of academic or working background, because we believe that building an inclusive ecosystem goes hand in hand with inclusive hiring policy.

We call to all individuals whom can add significant value to the foundation to contact us at jobs@fantom.foundation, we look forward to #BUIDL together.
