The Blockchain Association's CEO office is set for a leadership change next month. According to The Block, current CEO Summer Mersinger has confirmed her departure, with Kristin Smith stepping in — returning to the DC-headquartered industry group in the role of interim CEO.
The word "returning" says it all: Kristin Smith isn't a newcomer parachuted into the role — she previously led the Blockchain Association, and now, following Mersinger's exit, she's stepping back into the CEO seat, albeit with an "interim" tag attached for now.
That's all the public information available for now — the specific reasons behind Mersinger's departure, the exact transition date, and how long Smith's interim term will last have yet to be disclosed.
