Zooko Wilcox, the creator of privacy-focused blockchain network Zcash, will step down as CEO and be replaced by Josh Swihart, according to a blog post from Electric Coin Co. Wilcox has been the project's leader since 2015. Swihart, who was previously senior vice president of growth at ECC, will take on the CEO role responsible for all strategic and tactical decisions. Wilcox will remain on the board of the Bootstrap Project, the parent company of ECC. Zcash's native cryptocurrency, ZEC, was down 5.8% over the past 24 hours, but the price didn't appear to move much on the announcement of the CEO change.
