Maryam Taguri, also known as Kylie Degenner, is a visionary entrepreneur and leader who has made significant contributions to the world of Web3. Born in Canada, Maryam initially pursued a career in aviation and was on track to becoming a pilot before she discovered the power of blockchain technology.
Today, Maryam is based in Mexico City where she is passionate about creating meaningful and lasting impact with local communities. She has a gift for discovering unique connections and patterns among people and ideas, which has been instrumental in her success.
Maryam is deeply committed to reducing inequality through digital and technological opportunities. As the founder of Loser Club, a groundbreaking storytelling brand born on the blockchain, she works to bring together original thinkers and dreamers from all walks of life. The brand's mission is to lower the percentage of humanity that gives up at the most critical point when they think they've lost, and to empower individuals to harness the power of technology to drive positive change.
In March 2021, Loser Club released a collection of 10,000 unique NFTs that celebrate individuality, diversity, and togetherness. The project's success was led by a diverse team of women and men from different ethnic backgrounds, and it was the first NFT collection in history to reach a great level of success powerhoused by an African American artist and a Woman of color.
Maryam believes that the power of visual communication through art and storytelling are the secret weapons to be able to onboard and educate the masses into blockchain technology globally. Her vision and dedication to creating positive change have inspired many, and she continues to be a driving force in the industry, using technology as a tool for greater social and economic equity.
