“I am looking forward to identifying problems, pain points, from the process language to experimenting with the newest developments in disruptive blockchain technology. Ultimately, we want to provide technology that people and businesses will use seamlessly,” Pellerin said in the release.
Using new experience to push Cardano forwardJerry Fragiskatos will lead IOHK’s commercialization strategy from Dallas, Texas, working hand-in-hand with the Cardano Foundation. He will be focused on commodifying the blockchain technology developed at the company for mass adoption and growing a successful, self-sustaining business. With experience in over $3-billion worth of successful pursuits, Fragiskatos will also look at extracting value for IOHK’s existing products.
Romain Pellerin will be working closely with the product and technology teams at IOHK based in Houston to implement new processes and identify the pain processes involved with developing new technologies. He will coordinate the dependencies between teams and lay down the foundations of research and software development at IOHK.
IOHK’s chief of staff Tamara Haasen said that Fragiskatos’ experience with the IT industry and Pellerin’s experience with disruptive technologies will prove to be invaluable to the company.
