Who is the CEO of Bluesky?

Jay Graber is the CEO of Bluesky, the decentralized social media platform built on the AT Protocol.

Graber, who has a background in software development and cryptocurrency, was appointed as Bluesky's CEO in August 2021. Before joining Bluesky, she was known for her work on Happening, a decentralized event-organizing app, and had contributed to various crypto and decentralized technology projects.

Under Graber's leadership, Bluesky evolved from an idea initially funded by Twitter (now X) into an independent company focused on building a decentralized social networking protocol. Her vision for Bluesky centers around creating an open, transparent platform where users have more control over their social media experience.

Graber brings strong technical expertise in decentralized systems and a commitment to open-source development to her role. Her approach to leadership emphasizes transparency, user empowerment, and building technology that respects user agency and choice.

Jack Dorsey, the former CEO of Twitter who initially funded the Bluesky project, has remained supportive but does not run the company. Bluesky now operates as an independent entity with Graber at the helm, focusing on developing and expanding the AT Protocol and its ecosystem.
