Aya first shared the idea of transitioning from ED of @ethereumfndn to President a year ago.

She has accomplished much in her seven years as executive director of the EF. As I see it, the role of an ED is to create an environment where others can shine and do their best work, and so every success of the EF - the steady execution of Ethereum hard forks, client interop workshops, Devcon, Ethereum's culture and steadfast commitment to its mission and values, and more - is in part a result of Aya's stewardship.

@AyaMiyagotchi will continue supporting the EF in many of the same ways in her new role. Meanwhile, we have been working on the new EF leadership structure, and will share more news soon. Stay tuned!
