  7. CEO Discussion: Jeremiah Grossman in his 'Open letter to OWASP' blog post: • It is time for an OWASP Chief Executive Officer • Other highly successful non-profits have a President / CEO position (e.g. Mozilla) • OWASP generates enough revenue and has sufficient growth to justify the position Proposed Role: • Responsible for the day-to-day operational affairs and growing the organization. • A go to person for global committees, project leaders, members, sponsors, press • Authority to make decisions • Serve as an industry cheerleader and work with the leadership of other organizations

  8. CEO Discussion (continued): Mark Bristow’s response: • As OWASP grows as an organization there is a continuing need for a consistent "cheerleader" who is always working on OWASP's behalf. • Core staff in leadership roles are needed to support the organization • Hiring an experienced CEO to put a consistent "face" on OWASP activities, who can go and meet with industry leaders, potential supporters, press and perform outreach activities would be a boon to maturing us into OWASP 4.0. • Hiring a CEO with experience in running an international non-profit organization would also be a huge value add for OWASP • An experienced person could improve international operations
