A seasoned executive specializing in building and scaling ventures in Web3, decentralized finance ("DeFi"), and artificial intelligence ("AI") sectors, Spanò will provide strategic operational guidance to support the Company's growth as a technology company focused on decentralized AI and digital currencies.

Under his operational leadership, the company manages a portfolio of 15 companies and over $90 million USD in assets under management, positioning him at the forefront of Web3 venture scaling and digital asset operations.

His proven track record includes his previous role as Vice President of Operations at SingularityDAO Labs, where he played a pivotal role in scaling the organization and leading spin-off acceleration strategies. His operational excellence contributed to projects that collectively reached a fully diluted valuation of over $1.5 billion USD and secured more than $20 million USD in early-stage funding—demonstrating his ability to execute at scale in the rapidly evolving digital asset ecosystem.

"Alessandro brings the kind of operational depth that transforms vision into execution—something that's critical as we position to move from business plan to on-chain reality," said Jason Dussault, CEO of Intellistake Technologies Corp. "His expertise in scaling multi-entity Web3 operations isn't theoretical for us—it's directly applicable as we continue to expand our validator infrastructure and begin treasury operations. The institutional frameworks he's built at Singularity Venture Hub provide a proven blueprint for the kind of sophisticated digital asset management we're preparing to implement."

As a Partner in the Fisiokinè Network—Italy's leading private healthcare network specializing in physiotherapy with multiple medical centers across the country—he contributed to strategic growth and operational development of healthcare facilities, showcasing his versatility in building operational frameworks across diverse sectors. This cross-industry experience provides him with a unique perspective on implementing scalable systems that can adapt to complex regulatory environments—a critical capability as Intellistake navigates the evolving landscape of digital asset regulation.

Their proactive approach to infrastructure, compliance, and scalability reflects a clear vision for long-term success at the intersection of decentralized finance and AI. By prioritizing secure systems, regulatory alignment, and future-ready architecture from the outset, Intellistake is positioning itself as a trusted and resilient player capable of supporting both institutional partners and innovative builders in this rapidly evolving space."
