According to Cointelegraph, the Ethereum Foundation is restructuring its leadership, separating the management team's responsibilities from those of the board. The board will act as a 'safety committee' to protect the foundation's core and set the vision for Ethereum. The new management team will focus on strategic and operational execution.
In a blog post on April 28, the Foundation announced that Hsiao-Wei Wang and Tomasz K. Stańczak were appointed as co-executive directors on March 2, responsible for driving visions related to review resistance, open-source innovation, privacy, and security. Stańczak's term is for two years, and he will balance his work at Nethermind and a soon-to-be-announced Ethereum venture capital company.
The management team also includes Bastian Aue and Josh Stark, with Aue responsible for organizational strategy, recruitment, and training, while Stark handles project execution, communication, and marketing. Board members include Vitalik Buterin, Aya Miyaguchi, Patrick Storchenegger, and Wang.
The Foundation has taken a more active role in the Ethereum ecosystem over the past few months, responding to criticisms of its lack of participation and leadership. The focus for the next 12 months is to expand the scalability of Ethereum Layer 1 and Layer 2, and improve user experience. Dankrad Feist and Sophia Gold have proposed measures to increase Ethereum's transaction throughput.
