The inaugural executive director of Zcash Foundation, the company behind the 24th largest cryptocurrency by market cap $845 million ZEC, has left the Foundation. Josh Cincinnati in his farewell statement said,

“It was the best team I've ever had the honor of working with, and I will miss them terribly.”

Cincinnati believes that after leading the Foundation for over three years, he isn’t the right person to do it anymore and that he shouldn't do so indefinitely either. Moreover,

“whatever power that has vested to the Foundation should stay in check institutionally, and not accrue to a single leader,” he said, adding that he is “ready for a break and a change of pace.”

Another reason for his departure is that the negotiation and successful conclusion of the dev fund has taken a toll on his “relationship with ECC leadership and damaged my ability to collaborate with them effectively.” Because the Electric Coin Company is unlikely to change its leadership “ever,” “I instead chose to leave.” Before leaving, he shared his prediction that the,

“prospects for private digital cash are bright,” and “the Foundation’s technical efforts will make a big splash this year.”

After three incredible years, we bid our inaugural Executive Director @acityinohio farewell. You can expect ZF activities to continue uninterrupted as the board guides the organization while they search for a replacement. Thanks for everything Josh! https://t.co/gYv9BbSiHL
