This record comes from the 2026-09-04 AVAX typed-edge research pass (backend/scripts/data/avax-typed-edges-proposal-2026-09.json), which sources relationships from first-party prose rather than from listings. Named in FIRST-PARTY prose as CEO, The Arena.

Enrichment note

This entry is a SHELL created from the 2026-09-04 typed-edge research pass. Its prose restates what the cited first-party sources say and nothing more — it is not editorial and no biography has been written. It exists so the graph can carry the researched typed edge for Jason Desimone; replace it with a researched About body before it carries coverage.
