Summary
Ethereum Foundation co-executive director Hsiao-Wei Wang has stepped down from her role after returning from a sabbatical, saying the break gave her time to reflect on her future priorities. Wang's departure follows the resignation of fellow co-executive director Tomasz Stańczak and marks the latest in a string of high-profile exits at the EF, with eight senior figures leaving over the past five months amid ongoing scrutiny of the organization's governance, strategy and leadership. Wang reached the decision after a recent sabbatical, which gave her time to reflect on her priorities and future plans. Her departure follows the resignation of fellow co-executive director Tomasz Stańczak, who announced earlier this year that he would leave the role after helping steer a leadership transition at the Switzerland-based nonprofit that supports Ethereum's ecosystem development.
