In an effort to bolster its leadership amid Ether’s recent price decline, the Ethereum Foundation has outlined clearer distinctions between its board and management roles, aiming to strengthen the organization’s strategic direction and operational focus.
Per an April 28 blog post, the foundation, the key organization supporting Ethereum’s development, revamped its leadership framework by clearly dividing duties between its executive team and board of directors. The restructuring is designed to streamline operations and reinforce long-term governance as the network evolves.
Under the new structure, the management team will concentrate on executing the strategic and operational goals outlined by the board, which will serve as a “security council” tasked with safeguarding the core values and long-term vision of the Ethereum Foundation.
In a post on X, the Ethereum Foundation announced that Tomasz K. Stańczak and Hsiao-Wei Wang were named co-executive directors on March 2, tasked with leading the execution of the foundation’s strategic vision.
“The job of the co-executive directors is to both achieve the EF’s objectives and to champion our values: censorship resistance, open source innovation, privacy, and security,” the foundation wrote.
Joining the Ethereum Foundation’s revamped leadership team, Bastian Aue will steer organizational strategy, talent acquisition, and staff development, while Josh Stark takes charge of executing projects and overseeing communication and marketing efforts.
On the board side, the lineup includes Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin, Foundation President Aya Miyaguchi, Swiss legal advisor Patrick Storchenegger, and Hsiao-Wei Wang, who will also serve as the liaison between the board and management.
Buterin will remain a key voice in shaping Ethereum’s technical direction and broader ecosystem strategy. Miyaguchi will continue to guide the foundation’s overarching vision and maintain its external partnerships, while Storchenegger retains responsibility for legal affairs and regulatory compliance.
The Ethereum Foundation’s leadership realignment comes at a time of growing scrutiny and evolving expectations for blockchain governance. As Ethereum continues to mature, this organizational shift signals a stronger focus on transparency, long-term planning, and adaptability in a rapidly changing ecosystem.
With clear roles now established, the foundation appears poised to engage more directly with the community and industry at large, potentially setting a new standard for decentralized project stewardship.
