Why I’m joining Grist Labs to lead revenue generation & the open source business strategy

For years, I’ve navigated the friction between Open Source principles and sustainable growth. That tension has reached a breaking point. While Open Source is the backbone of global infrastructure, users are increasingly trapped in proprietary silos and vendors struggle to make ends meet. The market is demanding digital sovereignty. These are hard problems to solve. That is why I have joined Grist Labs as Chief Revenue Officer.

@stefano I've been a fan of Grist for a year now or so. I've been using it for some of my several personal projects. I hope to make it an important tool in some of my work projects, but joining Grist instead would be the ultimate dream.
