Today enterprise blockchain association Hyperledger announced a new leader, Daniela Barbosa who has been with Hyperledger and the Linux Foundation for more than four years. Barbosa was previously the VP of Alliances for Blockchain, Healthcare and Identity projects at the Linux Foundation. She replaces Brian Behlendorf who has been Executive Director of Hyperledger since May 2016, six months after the organization’s founding.
Behlendorf will now head up another Linux Foundation initiative, the Open Software Security Foundation. He’s been brought in to transform that project from a volunteer group to paid membership with commitments of over $10 million, including support from Microsoft and Google.
