Starknet CEO Resigns As James Strudwick Officially Takes The Role
Diego Olivia, the CEO for The Starknet Foundation (SNF), will officially be leaving the company after leading it since its launch in March 2023. Under Diego, The Starknet Foundation grew rapidly, expanding to thirty full-time professionals in a year.
 
A Successful Journey
The SNF successfully launched Seed Grants and DeFi Spring projects, collaborated with over 100 organizations, and created developer support programs. Diego Olivia was appointed as CEO in 2023 due to his strong background and experience.
Under his guidance, the SNF undertook several ecosystem projects, including Catalyst and Propulsion programs, and expanded initiatives like Hacker Hose and Basecamp.
 
Time For A Change
Now that the team and structure are in place, leadership is transitioning to James Strudwick, who joined the SNF in January 2024. Strudwick, with his Web3 expertise and successful project history, will continue the values of strong work ethic that the SNF has tried to uphold since its inception.
Eli Ben-Sasson of StarkWare Ltd. praised Olivia for his contributions and welcomed Strudwick as the new Executive Director, expressing satisfaction with the transition. As of right now, it remains unclear as to which direction Diego will take his career going forward.
