The Algorand Foundation today announced the appointment of Min Wei as its Global Head of Ecosystem Growth. Wei will report directly to Algorand Foundation CEO Staci Warden as a member of senior management.

Wei joins the Algorand Foundation from Blockchain.com, where she served as Head of Partnerships from 2018-2020 and again from May 2021 until now. At Blockchain.com, she led partnerships across all products, crypto ecosystems and new business initiatives.

“Algorand’s industry-leading technology has attracted an amazing community to the ecosystem. Now is the time to shine an even brighter light on the innovative projects they are building,” said Wei. “I look forward to working alongside talented entrepreneurs and builders, and helping to lead the Algorand Foundation’s mission to support a vibrant, decentralized ecosystem.”

After joining the Algorand Foundation in January, Warden set out to build a leadership team. Wei’s appointment follows the appointments of Harpal Singh as CFO, Deirdre Halligan as CEO, John Woods as Chief Technology Officer and Eric Wragge as Global Head of Business Development and Capital Sheets.

“As our ecosystem of dApps continues to grow and become more sophisticated, I am grateful that Min will bring her deep experience and cryptonative sensibility to lead critical initiatives across the web3 and community,” said Warden.
