We are indeed currently in the process of large changes to EF leadership structure, which has been ongoing for close to a year. Some of this has already been executed on and made public, and some is still in progress.
What we're trying to achieve is primarily the following goals:
* Improve level of technical expertise within EF leadership
* Improve two-way communications and ties between EF leadership and the ecosystem actors, old and new, that it is our role to support: users (individual and institutional), app devs, wallets, L2s
* Bring in fresh talent, improve execution ability and speed
* Become more actively supportive of app builders, and make sure important values and inalienable rights (esp privacy, open source, censorship resistance) are a reality for users including at the app layer
* Continue to increase our use of decentralized and privacy tech and the Ethereum chain, including for payments and treasury management

I also hope to see the EF index more on building bridges with the traditional corporate world (and not just TradFi, but other industries too).
In my professional services experience (Big Four Partner, evangelizing the use of blockchain and smart contracts for 10+ years whenever I can), senior decision makers (SVP, C-suite, and Board level) are generally clueless about not only the tech, but even the existence of Ethereum or anything outside of Bitcoin.
Blockchains are still perceived as a tech fad among edgy CIOs back in 2017 and I want to dispel that perception and make them more mainstream / top of mind for corporate use cases where credibly neutral settlement, traceability of parts or transactions, immutable registries, etc are needed.
Iβm not worried about retail adoption nor DeFi, Iβm worried about the Fortune 1000 leaders largely ignoring the tech and thinking itβs just a giant casino 0 reply
