On joining the IOTA Foundation

Future cross-industrial deployment of Industrial Internet of Things use-cases requires innovation solutions for data exchange, transactions management, and process traceability. Distributed ledger technology (DLT) provided by IOTA and its recent developments, can be an important game changer for novel business models and IoT enabled use-cases, focusing on providing value-add in industrial context and beyond. It is my pleasure to join the advisory board of IOTA foundation. I’m looking forward to help IOTA team driving the revolution of IIoT by enabling disruptive industrial use-cases and new big data driven business models.

We are very excited to have Anes as an advisor to the IOTA Foundation. His experience with digital transformation within big industrial companies coupled with his deep expertise in the field of Industrial Internet-of-Things will be a great asset for the Foundation in the IIoT.
