With the start of 2026 I will officially step down as chair/CEO and move to a supervisory role. I wish Francesco and the new board members - Sergey, Dalai, Fiona - a lot of wisdom and success. I will enjoy more free time, and look forward playing a humble role in shaping Blender for the next decade.
