Under Trippi,Sez Us launched a blockchain-powered single sign-on experience, built in collaboration with Project Liberty and the Frequency Network Foundation, marking a major step toward an open, interoperable social web. As Chairman, Trippi will continue to oversee the expansion of Sez Us.

"Akshay brings a breadth of experience managing large global brands, operationalizing different business models, and spearheading new businesses," said Trippi. "His work as Sez Us COO, combined with his diverse tenure, uniquely positions him to step into the CEO role."
