We're thrilled to announce William Herkelrath as Algorand's new CEO.
William brings two decades of experience across AI, enterprise software, institutional finance, and blockchain infrastructure.
Most recently, he co-founded K3 Labs, an AI-first automation platform for building and running AI agent-managed workflows, following leadership roles at Chainlink and Curv.
Q-Day is approaching, and many institutions, enterprises, and blockchains have no plan in place.
You see how this looks, right?
On Algorand, we had a plan years ago. Now, we have post-quantum accounts, live today, on-chain.
For Algorand's new CEO William Herkelrath, a more sustainable ecosystem starts with solving real-world problems people are willing to pay for.
Finding product-market fit around security can generate real revenue and support the network.

Global coffee brand @lavazzagroup has been using Algorand to trace its La Reserva de ¡Tierra! Cuba range, recording harvesting, processing and transport data onchain that consumers can access and verify simply by scanning the QR code on the packaging.
With this data recorded on Algorand, Lavazza's supply chain and sustainability efforts become more transparent and easier to verify.
