Zooko Steps Down as CEO

In a personal blog post, Zooko explained his decision to resign as CEO of the Electric Coin Company (ECC), the developer of Zcash. He said leading Zcash for 8 years caused his identity to become too enmeshed with the company’s. For his own well-being, Zooko felt he needed to step back.

Zooko stressed that his resignation was completely amicable. He will remain on the board of the ECC’s parent company, The Bootstrap Project. After a break of a few months, he plans to share what projects he’ll work on next.

New CEO Announced

Replacing Zooko as Zcash CEO is Josh Swihart. Despite working part-time at an investment firm recently, Josh has been part of the ECC leadership team since 2018.

Zooko praised Josh’s six years at ECC, saying he became a core team member. While they have sometimes disagreed on approaches, Zooko said they share the same vision for Zcash.

Given the aligned vision between the outgoing and incoming CEOs, Zcash’s future looks bright. The transition seems likely to go smoothly.
