We Remain Laser-Focused on ICP Under Dom’s Leadership: Joshua Lee

The DFINITY Foundation’s leadership update continues to fuel discussions, with Joshua Lee Drake stepping in to clarify what he calls a “clerical error” in the Swiss registry update. The confusion followed DFINITY’s recent structural changes, leaving the community questioning whether a broader US expansion is still in play.

“My role as COO of Dfinity Research USA remains the same as it has been for years,” said Drake. “Dom remains the Foundation’s President and Chief Scientist, and we remain laser-focused on ICP and its ecosystem under his leadership. All business as usual.”

Dominic Williams, DFINITY’s founder, quickly shut down speculation about leadership changes. “Sorry guys, this is a non-news event,” he said. “My role has not changed.” He added that the Swiss registry update was “a boring clerical error” that should be corrected soon.

Despite the explanations, some community members remain unconvinced. The original story—well received by the community—highlighted a potential shift in DFINITY’s focus toward the US market. While the leadership structure now appears settled, the broader question of the foundation’s US push remains open.

“So the US managerial role is nonsense?” asked Saratoshi Nagamoto. Others, like Houman Shadab, pointed to demand for a US expansion. “I think there’s strong demand for a NYC office :)” he posted, hinting that ICP’s future growth may still have an American focus.

Some saw the situation as much ado about nothing. “Not sure why people were confused in the first place,” wrote Milos Lukovic. “Dom has always been a CTO, and now he’s got two COOs. Nomenclature seemed pretty straightforward.”

Drake’s role, at least officially, remains unchanged. But as the US regulatory landscape shifts and crypto projects adapt, the real question isn’t about leadership titles—it’s about where DFINITY is headed next.
