Chin joins the Algorand Foundation with 15 years of experience in marketing for some of the world’s best-known companies. Most recently, she was Head of Brand for Global Privacy at WhatsApp, where she developed the company’s positioning as the world’s top messaging platform. She also led the marketing team’s metaverse efforts.

These experiences give Chin valuable Silicon Valley insights to apply at Algorand, as the Foundation seeks to onboard the next billion users to the blockchain. Chin will report directly to the Algorand Foundation’s CEO, Staci Warden.
“After a lengthy search, I am thrilled that Jessica has agreed to join the Algorand Foundation to lead our global marketing efforts.
