Team Member Spotlight: Michael Zochowski, Founder and CEO
It’s so important for us to have the Logos community meet members of the team, and we wanted to take a step back and introduce the one who started it all — Michael Zochowski, the Founder and CEO of Logos. (Full transparency: he begrudgingly accepted this profile.)
Before starting Logos Network, Michael has been involved in cryptocurrency since 2013, and has extensive experience investing in and contributing to the crypto ecosystem. Coming from a financial background, he has independently developed and traded both discretionary and algorithmic strategies for crypto markets, and worked at Ellington Management Group in portfolio management and alpha research roles across equity volatility and credit strategies. He has graduated from Harvard University with a B.A. in Statistics and M.S. in Applied Mathematics.
“Decentralized technology will not win by generating hype fueled by lofty dreams. Mainstream success requires completely overhauling the crypto paradigm and redesigning it from the ground up for real-world integrations.
A massive leap forward in system design is required to push theoretical performance past the levels required by applications. Even more importantly, engineering must move past today’s loose “trial-and-error” approach to actually deliver on that potential performance and inspire trust in the code. Execution, from rigorous documentation all the way down to clean APIs, is also critical for empowering teams to engage with the technology. Support for stablecoins, whether full-reserve or algorithmic, and other tokens on infrastructure that rivals centralized networks changes the network’s value proposition from gimmick to real cost savings.
Finally, specialization for specific, properly defined use cases and a commercially-minded approach that includes work with existing companies and products is necessary to push outside of the crypto ecosystem. Logos is architected and engineered to be the optimal, turn-key solution for payments that enables anyone, anywhere in the world, to engage in real economic transactions at minimal cost.”
Within Logos: As most founders, Michael straddles the intersection of technological and the business sectors, overseeing the core architecture development of Logos and pushing it forward unto the market, alongside a lean team of 15. Unlike most founders, he also finds time to have a relationship and is getting married next week.
