Today marks my last day contributing(professionally) to Parity Technologies and Polkadot. What a ride it was! Thank you Eric Morel for providing the opportunity and the freedom to operate. Will be forever grateful to all the amazing colleagues and stakeholders I met on this journey. Special mention to the Polkadot community for being so vocal and carrying the flag, you rock! 🤘 🚀 Having spent 3 years of my professional career in the Web3 space, I have to say it is such a dynamic and ever-evolving space. So many relationships built and lessons learned. Every week in Web3 is worth a month in Web2. I feel like I have to share a few quick thoughts: 🐻 Building in a bear market is no easy task. You absolutely have to look past the token price dynamics, identify and drive positive trends, stay together and stay resilient. 💻 Tech is important, but it is only a very small piece of the puzzle. Do not overlook the power of the community, importance of having a long term vision and focus on executional excellence. 🤝 Decentralisation does not mean that leadership is not important. In fact, it is quiet the opposite. Driving decentralised efforts requires top notch leadership to pull all the efforts together. Without great leaders, everything will fall apart. 🚲 There is no need to invent a bicycle, when it comes to marketing, business development or any other function. These business functions have existed long before Web3 and will remain after Web3 is no longer the new and shiny thing. With that said, it is important to adapt your skillset to the new reality. Looking forward to spending some more quality time with family and friends during the summer months and contemplating on what lies ahead. It is very easy to spend 24/7 submerged in the world of Web3 and Blockchain, everyone has a finite amount of time, be mindful of how you spend it. Once again, Thank You to all my incredible colleagues and stakeholders for an unforgettable chapter. #Web3 #Decentralisation #Leadership #CommunityBuilding #Adaptability #Polkadot YOLO

Valuable insights here! I laughed when I read “every week in Web3 is worth a month in Web2…” It’s something I say often and noticed quickly when entering the space. Great plan to take a break while you can. Burnout is very common, and you’ll come back refreshed and with a renewed creative outlook. Wishing you much success in your next role!
