Camino Network Foundation Welcomes Yessin Schiegg to Its Council
The Camino Network Foundation has appointed Yessin Schiegg to its Council. Known for bridging traditional finance and the decentralized web, he brings hands-on experience to the non-profit behind the Layer 1 Camino Network. It’s a practical match: a builder joining a foundation focused on building.
A Track Record Across Web3 and Traditional Finance
Schiegg’s career spans both sides of the finance–technology divide. He worked at BlackRock, one of the world’s largest asset managers, before moving deeper into crypto. His path into web3 took shape at the Ethereum Foundation, where he served on the advisory board and collaborated closely with leaders in the space. That work gave him a front-row seat to how protocols grow, how communities organize, and how funding meets engineering. Most recently, he served as CFO at the NEAR Foundation, a prominent organization in the blockchain ecosystem. Taken together, these roles show a steady through-line: build responsibly, then scale.
Guidance for the Road Ahead
Schiegg’s experience setting up foundations and launching crypto tokens aligns with the Camino Network Foundation’s next chapter. His background in Tokenomics and financial strategy will help the Foundation as it prepares for its upcoming token launch. In his words: “I'm delighted to join the Camino Network Foundation as a Council member, and to contribute to the growth of such a groundbreaking initiative. Camino Network is leading the way as the most advanced blockchain tailored for the travel industry, and I'm excited to be part of this journey. It's an honor to join the team and help shape the next chapter of its success story.”
