Spier, most recently Vice President Marketing and Growth Strategy at Turntide Technologies, brings over two decades of experience in launching and scaling start-ups and emerging technology businesses to her advisory position. Alongside starting VMware's IoT and Edge business from inception, she has worked with distinguished organizations including Oracle, Business Objects, and SAP, and presents highly sought-after expertise at the intersection of technology and business. 

“Toposware is in the midst of a dynamic growth phase as the team prepares to launch its product,” said Spier. “I’m eager to contribute my expertise and help bring a vision to life that will develop a better functioning, more inclusive Web3,” added Spier.

“We’re excited to welcome these esteemed industry professionals to our internal committee as we work to expand the potential of blockchains and unlock new capabilities for developers.
