The IOTA Foundation has hired another high-level tech professional in the form of Fujitsu executive Dr. Rolf Werner.
Blockchain non-profit organization the IOTA Foundation continued its high-profile hiring moves April 9 with the appointment of Dr. Rolf Werner, Head of Central Europe at Fujitsu.
In a blog post, executives said Wernerâs âunmatched enthusiasm and driveâ would bring âgreat value for the IOTA project as it continues to cement itâs leading role in the DLT space.â
While also working as Chairman of the Managing Board of Fujitsu Technology Solutions, Werner represents the second notable recruitment for Internet of things-focussed IOTA since the start of 2018.
In January, the project welcomed Volkswagenâs Chief Digital Officer Johann Jungwirth to its advisory board.
IOTAâs central offering is Tangle, a so-called âblockless distributed ledgerâ which developers say holds promise for various sectors of the global economy also being tackled by âtraditionalâ Blockchain technology.
Commenting on his appointment, Werner appeared to share their beliefs.
âThe possibilities of decentralized and secured applications based on IOTA Tangle as a Distributed Ledger Technology are immense,â he said.
âThey go far beyond machine-to-machine payment and include, for example, tamper-proof monitoring of the supply chain and secure identity management, just to name a few.â
Fujitsu itself is also active in the Blockchain sphere, opening a Blockchain Innovation Center in Belgium late last month.
