Welcoming a New Chief Communications Officer

We are delighted to announce that Elise Hamdon will be joining the Zcash Foundation as our Chief Communications Officer. Elise will oversee all facets of our communications strategy and we are confident that her leadership will enhance our efforts to promote transparency, foster community trust, and drive the adoption of Zcash.

Elise brings a wealth of experience and expertise in Zcash communications, having proven herself invaluable during her part-time work with the Foundation over the past two years. She also brings additional insights from her time at the Electric Coin Company, where she served as Communications Manager during 2018 and 2019. Most recently she has been advancing cryptocurrency education for youth as Executive Director of Mass Adoption Alliance, which was established with support from a ZF grant.

Elise’s deep understanding of Zcash, the broader privacy and cryptocurrency landscape, and her proven track record in strategic communications position her to make immediate contributions to our strategy. Earlier this year, Elise spearheaded the My First Zcash project in collaboration with the Zcash community, and she will continue to advance this important educational initiative.

Please join us in welcoming Elise to the Zcash Foundation. We are excited to have her on board in this capacity and look forward to the positive impact she will have on our organization and the broader Zcash community.
