On joining IOTA

It is inspiring to see how IOTA is getting involved with governments and inter-governmental organizations around the world to create real-world use cases for DLT & IoT that serve the public interest. In my experience, improving the situation of human rights and achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals around the world is only feasible with the involvement of the public and the private sectors. In fact, my personal belief is that the future of human rights is in the hands of the private sector. Being part of the Social Impact Team at IOTA offers me the possibility to create and improve those connections in accordance with the principles of business and human rights, in order to generate a real impact in the field.

Mariana brings her international expertise in project management and social interventions related to human rights and humanitarian law, to our Social Impact and Regulatory Affairs team. She will play an integral role in the development and execution of impact projects, and the application of IOTA’s technology for social change. Please give her a warm welcome!
