Well, as I understand it, Elizabeth Powell is now the Managing Director of Steemit, Inc. or so says her LinkedInTM Profile and STEEM Profile. I have seen in some places that she has been described as CEO (e.g., crunchbaseTM), but I am not sure if that is accurate.
She was in the Witness Chat in The Ramble Discord Server earlier today. @shadowspub hosts a Witness Chat every month. Many times representatives from Steemit, Inc. attend these sessions. I am sure that it was recorded. If you would like to see last month's (December) witness chat, you can watch the video here:
(I did not embed the video as not to clog up your comment section. Am I not considerate?).
I noticed that most of her STEEM is liquid, but have not dug very deep. Maybe she has another account where she keeps her STEEM stake. In any case to see that her main account is mostly liquid STEEM is not very encouraging.
Oh well, I like to comment on posts to which I give up-votes. So; now you have my two-cents.
Have a nice week!
