As you know, last week we officially announced that Hiway will be pursuing an IEO beginning on June 3rd. We are extremely delighted to team up with both ExMarkets and Dcoin, two blockchain focused exchanges, and bring our WAY token to a greater audience.

And so, with this exciting new phase coming up for Hiway, we wanted to give you an insight into all the wonderful and talented individuals who are dedicating time and effort into developing the Hiway platform. A platform that will revolutionize the future job market through blockchain.

Let’s begin with the men who started it all; Our Founders Simon Rikmenspoel and Thale Sonnemans. Originally from the Netherlands, Simon has decades of experience in the recruitment industry establishing De Speer Recruitment Agency in 2007. Operating with a team of 30 full-time employees, De Speer helps more than 500 people find a job daily. Thale, the creative force behind Hiway has a professional background in the blockchain industry and creative industries. Thale combines expressive conceptual thinking with an entrepreneurial spirit. Between them both, the Hiway founders hold a deep understanding of the alternating face of the recruitment industry, an entrepreneurial drive and resume, and the appreciation of data-driven innovations such as Blockchain and AI. With the rise of these technologies and the increasing challenges faced by traditional recruitment agencies, the idea to begin Hiway came to fruition in 2016 with a vision to embrace the future by introducing a new global platform.

Further details about our founders can be found by clicking on the names below:

Simon Rikmenspoel | Co-founder & CFO

Thale Sonnemans | Co-founder & Creative Director

Advisors:

By the latter months of 2018, Thale and Simon had developed an enthusiastic blockchain focused community around Hiway on platforms such as Facebook, Reddit, and Telegram. As further progress was made, several blockchain experts have committed themselves to the project as an advisor and are able to help Hiway connect to its future customers and further business development. Below are the Hiway advisors:

Lars Rensing | Co-founder & CFO at Ark Ecosystem

Anthony Coscio | Managing Partner TokenStack Partners LLC

Danillo S. Carlucci | Startup & Blockchain consultant/advisor

Michael Creadon | CEO at 4Rev

Nina Kaplan | Founder and CEO of Summit Metals Recovery Corp.

Chen Siyuan | Advisor Asian market

As talented and as experienced as the people behind Hiway are, it is through teamwork and cooperating together that we have been able to get to where we currently want to be! Our dedicated team is still forming and we’ll be introducing new team members and faces soon as we progress towards the launch of our platform. In the meantime, our IEO is just around the corner and next up we will be communicating further details about our choice of exchanges and the sale of our WAY Token. Stay tuned!
