The Cardano Foundation welcomes two new Board Members: Mary Beth Buchanan & Andreas Eschbach.

Jillian, along with Mary Beth and Andreas, plus a further member joining the council soon, will help initiate a new era for the Cardano Foundation’s strategic oversight and growth unveiled in July 2021.

The outgoing Council extends a warm welcome to Mary Beth and Andreas, two highly accomplished professionals with a wealth of multi-industry experience that transcends geographical boundaries. They are confident that the new board is fully prepared for its task and look forward to following the further development of the Cardano Foundation as members of the Cardano Community.
