Christian Thompson has been appointed as the new Managing Director of the Sui Foundation, succeeding Greg Siourounis. With extensive experience, including his time as an early member of Meta's blockchain Diem project and at Mysten Labs, Thompson is poised to drive the Sui Foundation into its next phase of growth.
Raoul Pal, CEO of Real Vision and a Sui Foundation Board Member, shared his optimism, stating:
"Mainstream adoption of decentralized technology has never been more obtainable. The next billion people to use cryptocurrency will likely start with Sui, in my opinion. Christian will have the power to make that dream a reality."
Thompson emphasized Sui’s rapid evolution:
"In less than two years, due to its scalable and accessible design, Sui has grown into a top destination for millions of crypto users. I am excited to engage developers, grow the community, and position Sui as the gateway to web3's future."
Sui, a Layer 1 proof-of-stake blockchain, is rapidly becoming an alternative to Ethereum and Solana due to its scalability and accessibility. With Thompson at the helm, the Sui Foundation is well-positioned to lead the charge in web3 adoption.
