Zcash Foundation appoints David Campbell as executive director

What sources claim

• The Zcash Foundation Board of Directors appointed David Campbell as Executive Director, succeeding Alex Bornstein, who had led the Foundation since March 2025, according to the Foundation.
• Alex Bornstein will remain with the Foundation in a transition role through the end of January 2027, the Foundation said.
• David Campbell said his first priorities are keeping Zebra and the Foundation's infrastructure fast, secure and reliable as more teams share responsibility for Zcash, and making privacy something ordinary people can use without thinking about it.

Still unresolved

• What specific changes to the Foundation's strategy or staffing Campbell plans beyond the stated infrastructure and privacy priorities, which an official Foundation statement or plan would clarify.
• Whether the appointment changes the Foundation's role in supporting Zebra and other full node implementations, which would be confirmed by an official announcement on funding or team structure.

Price moves and their timing cannot establish a cause; minute samples show an observed interval and alert thresholds are heuristics. Explanations are model-assisted, with citations and figures checked. Source titles stay in their original language; full articles are not republished.
