Selkis stepped down as CEO of Messari following statements on social media platform X. Eric Turner will head the company.
Ryan Selkis has resigned as CEO of the data aggregator platform Messari following public controversy over calls for civil war and political remarks on immigrants in the United States as election season heats up.
According to an announcement, Eric Turner, Messari’s chief revenue officer, will head the company. Turner joined Messari in 2018.
“I’ve decided to step aside from my operating CEO role at Messari and transition to the role of Senior Advisor. This was a decision I did not take lightly and one I was very close to making last month, as I considered the problems I was most passionate about tackling in society at large,” reads Selkis’ statement.
