On joining IOTA

I am very impressed by the professional and friendly atmosphere of everybody that I met at IOTA. The foundation practices lean approaches in all departments, and my expectations have been surpassed during the onboarding phase already.

The Social Impact team of IOTA has a truly unique opportunity to foster the use of the IOTA protocol, in order to collectively overcome societal and ecological challenges. I am excited to be part of this journey.

We are very happy officially announcing Pinar joining the team.

Give her a warm welcome!
