Mario is a great candidate for Head Ambassador, as he brings an extensive network from outside of Polkadot, is a successful entrepreneur and has many ties to European Union blockchain-related initiatives. He was "converted" to Polkadot at the PBA, and since has devoted his time to not only basing his startup out of Polkadot, but also contributing to and growing the ecosystem. He is a connector and a person who lifts other builders in the ecosystem.

I came to know Mario during the PBA in HK, where he delivered an excellent pitch for his project LinkedCar. He is great speaker on stage, and good at delivering the message of "why Polkadot" (arguably the most important qualification in an HA). His work with European Institutions and policy teams in Brussels is going to be extremely valuable for Polkadot as well. And with PolkaBiz he has shown a clear commitment and ability to execute on BD which I consider another core pillar of HAs responsibilities.
