Tomas Stanchak, founder of Nethermind, will take on the role of co-executive director for a two-year term. His appointment is expected to help implement deeper changes focused on the technical needs and requests of the community.
Siao-Wei Wang, who will combine roles in management and the board, will serve as a liaison between the executive team and the oversight body. Her experience in Ethereum research will enhance the analytical and strategic potential of EF.
EF President Aya Miyaguchi and Swiss legal advisor Patrick Stornetegger remain on the board of directors.
EF also announced that the new management team will regularly inform the community about their actions and plans, promoting transparency and engagement.
"We believe that stronger products and strategic governance are needed for the next development cycle of Ethereum," noted the Ethereum Foundation team in their statement.
It is worth mentioning that at the end of January 2025, blockchain community representatives called for former Ethereum Foundation researcher Danny Ryan to be appointed as the leader.
