Hi! Today is my first official day as the Executive Director of Mastodon, replacing @Gargron as CEO. I joined the Mastodon team more than 5 years ago, mostly working for Mastodon in the evenings on top of a 120% day job. I was the driving force behind the incorporation of the German non-profit, am a co-founder of the US 501c3 non-profit, and I have contributed to most of the fundraising success, which allowed us to expand the team.

Hi Felix,
pleased to neet you, Felix.
Congrats for the promotion.
Sounds like you earned it.
Congratulations on your new journey, Felix. You seem to be a smart, kind, and thoughtful person. That evokes a feeling of trust in me.
I love the fedi and volunteer as a moderator. I care deeply about it. So I’m keen to see how you move things forward.
Please always remember your words: “I promise to always put the humans here first and to keep this a safe space for you.” If you do that, you’ll do great.
@mellifluousbox @Gargron good luck, hope this is the first day of a great future for Mastodon and the wider Fediverse 🤞🤞🤞

Welcome aboard, Felix, and best wishes to you in your exciting new Mastodon duties here.
And best wishes to you, Gargron, in all your future personal/pro endeavors.
@mellifluousbox @Gargron Great news Felix. Best of luck to you!
Welcome Felix! Congratulations!
I’m humbled to be given this opportunity and want to tell you a bit more about myself and how I think about the future of Mastodon and the Fediverse. I have a business and finance background. I have worked for technology companies my whole career but have become increasingly tired of the extractive venture capital model of financing them, which only works for the rare outliers and seemingly never leads to the best product humans deserve.
