Hi everyone,

By now you will all have heard that Wes has decided to find a new adventure and will be leaving the Foundation. I wanted to take a moment and offer my sincere thanks to him not only for his contribution to the Foundation and the Movement these past two years (which has been enormous) but also for his amazing support to me personally as I came into the CTO role and began to find my feet. I could not have wished for a better partner and I am truly sad that he chosen to follow a path outside the Foundation. But as I have told him, jobs may come and go but friendships last a lifetime and I know we will be friends for a long time! Wes, you are a man of exceptional grace and I look forward to continuing to work with you in the movement.

I also wanted to say that in the time I have been in the Foundation I have come to know and admire what Toby Negrin and his team has achieved. Toby, you have shown great leadership and your drive for results is benefiting our communities day in day out. I look forward to working with you as you step in the acting Product leadership role.

We have exciting times ahead of us. With the movement strategy coming down the pike later in the year, we will get the engineering side of the house ready to support it. And in the meantime we have so many great opportunities to build on our strengths to server the movement and our communities better. This is a great time to be here!

Warm regards,

Victoria
