How do you think about onboarding talent without crypto experience? Is this something you do/prefer/avoid? For specific roles/generally? I often have non-crypto friends who are looking for new work, are considering a crypto thing, but hard to know where they would be welcome or what's expected of them upfront.

hi everyone :) I've been building teams for most of my career. Always at startups because it's more fun. I joined Optimism two years ago and am responsible for developing our Engineering, Product, and Design teams. I love crypto and I love Farcaster. Feel free to ask me about literally anything!!

A formative experience in my career was growing up in a values-driven org that grew from 30 to 150+ people. Change can be challenging when people care. What is your approach to growing a deeply values focused team like OP? What have been the biggest challenges so far? What changes if OP scales to 100 or 1000 people?

Does Optimism have any plans to change the balance of voting 🗳️ power within the governance system to become more decentralized? Currently the top 25 delegates hold 70% of the voting power. This is a sign of centralization that most do not agree with.
