Dear Vite Fleet:

We are writing to inform you that Luke Kim, who was previously Chief Marketing Officer of Vite, will become the new CEO. Charles Liu and Richard Yan will step down from their positions and become advisors to the project. These changes are effective immediately.

Many community members remember Luke from the early days of Vite. He represented the project at many high profile events. He was instrumental in forming strategic partnerships including a first-of-its-kind city token economy with the Mayor’s Office of Syracuse in the US. He brought this model to the West Africa Monetary Zone, Seychelles Stock Exchange, City of Berkeley, State of Rhode Island, UNICEF, EU Horizon 2020, South Africa Reserve Bank, and the Dutch Consulate through advisory work and requests for proposals.

In addition to his contributions at Vite, Luke led marketing for various products and crypto-assets including Dtravel. He was a founding team member at Berkeley Blockchain Xcelerator. He currently helps with sourcing, selection, and hosting the accelerator’s podcast. He is also a partner at a Web3 public relations agency, Truth Cartel, which served 40+ clients successfully. Luke is enthusiastic about decentralized autonomous organizations and he is a member of RaidGuild.

Over the past few years, Vite built a strong ecosystem with a suite of products made by a vibrant community of Vuilders. To complement the project’s robust fundamentals and technical infrastructure, Vite deserves a stronger voice. This point was frequently and consistently raised by the community. We believe that Luke’s presence will bring fresh energy to the project.

Over the coming weeks and months, Luke will be writing about future plans for Vite and meeting the community through AMAs. If you have questions, feel free to raise them in our various social media channels. Luke is excited to be reunited with the Vite Fleet!

Best regards,

Vite Labs
