Umed Saidov, CFA

My motivation for becoming a dRep stems from a long-standing commitment to Cardano’s vision and values. Having actively contributed to the ecosystem since the early days, I have witnessed first-hand the importance of strong, principled governance. As a former SPO and financial professional, I bring both operational experience and a strategic perspective to the table. I believe Cardano’s governance process should be grounded in clarity, transparency, and informed participation.

As a dRep, my objective is to enhance transparency and clarity in Cardano's decision-making processes by leveraging my background as a seasoned financial professional.

I am a former Cardano stake pool operator and a financial professional with over 15 years of experience, offering a unique perspective that bridges both the technical and economic dimensions of network governance. This dual expertise is essential for making well-informed, balanced decisions that support Cardano’s long-term success.
