Hello Horizen Fam,

I’m putting forward my candidacy for the September 2026 Horizen Special Council.

I spent more than four years at Horizen, first as Country Lead for Georgia with regional BD responsibilities, then as Business Development Manager. My work covered exchanges, market makers, wallets, research partners and third-party integrations.

Combined with my current work at HLV and Ventari, that experience would help me evaluate proposals, scrutinize partnership costs and risks and support initiatives that deliver meaningful utility for ZEN.

I live in Georgia, the country.

My full candidacy and disclosures are here: [Special Council Candidate: Ivane (Vano) Narimanidze](https://horizen.discourse.group/t/special-council-candidate-ivane-vano-narimanidze/1154)

I welcome your questions and would appreciate your support.

**ZEN UP  
Utility, Partnerships.
