New Executive Director of OpenChain Project

We are pleased to announce that Mary Meixia Wang has joined the OpenChain Project as our new Executive Director.

We extend our sincere gratitude to our board members and contributors for their continued dedication and support. We would also like to recognize the pioneering leadership of Shane Coughlan whose vision and commitment have been instrumental in establishing OpenChain’s global success.

Mary Wang brings extensive experience in software development and open source governance, with particular expertise in the telecommunications and automotive sectors. Her leadership will be vital as we continue to advance our mission: to build a supply chain in which open source is delivered with trusted and consistent process management information.

Under Mary’s guidance, we are confident that OpenChain will further strengthen its global impact, expand cross-industry adoption, and drive practical innovation aligned with the evolving open source ecosystem.

Please join us in welcoming Mary to her new role. We look forward to the next chapter of OpenChain’s journey and will share further updates in the months ahead.
