ZUG, 30 SEPTEMBER 2024. The Partisia Blockchain Foundation announces the appointment of Adrienne Youngman as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) effective 1 September 2024. This pivotal hire reinforces the organization’s mission to drive adoption of our unique public blockchain and amplify its global impact in bringing interoperability and privacy-preserving computation to the entire ecosystem.
Adrienne brings a diverse background in business and brand strategy, entrepreneurship, commercial execution and Web3 innovation. She began her career in brand and business strategy for FTSE 100 companies and went on to lead global communications, PR and social initiatives for Captain Morgan globally, as well as managing the rums business in Europe. Under her leadership, Captain Morgan achieved over-delivery on targets for two consecutive years. Adrienne later co-founded and successfully sold two service businesses in Asia, with clients that included Heineken, HSBC and Rio Tinto.

“Adrienne brings a vibrant energy and a clear Web3 focus that will take the project to the next level. Some of you already met her at our event at Token2049 in Singapore, where I had the great pleasure to jointly outline our adoption strategy on RWA and DeFi with Adrienne. I truly believe that she will bring the skillset our organization needs at the right time to grow and prosper.”
Before joining Partisia Blockchain Foundation, Adrienne held various roles in both Web3 startups and major global brands, demonstrating her ability to cut through noise and deliver business outcomes.
