Sheila Warren, an internationally recognized leader in advancing emerging technologies, has been appointed Chief Strategy and Operations Officer of Project Liberty and Chief Executive Officer of the Project Liberty Institute. Tomicah Tillemann, the President of Project Liberty, announced the appointment on Monday.

In the newly created position, Warren, who is based in the Bay Area, will be a core member of the Project Liberty leadership team.

“Sheila Warren has been a longtime friend of both Project Liberty and the principles we are advancing. She is a powerful addition to our leadership team,” said Frank McCourt, Founder of Project Liberty. “Her experience and professional contributions to the decentralization and democratization of technology make her uniquely qualified to help lead the crucial work happening at Project Liberty and Project Liberty Institute. I look forward to seeing her impact as we continue to build a better web for a better world.”
