It brings me great joy to announce the elevation of a longstanding Purism employee to the critically important role of Director of Product—François Téchené—the second employee hired to Purism.
Filling this role accomplishes a lot of things for us; but filling this role with someone of François’s caliber accomplishes all the things we need and want. An internal shift from R&D heavy investments—measured by tens-of-millions—into finished product and delivery—measured by features and benefits—made the choice of elevating François to the Director of Product role an obvious choice.
Purism’s continued commitment to convenient product for the masses—where the software improves with age—while also delivering according to our social purpose, means that under François’s product leadership our past, current, and future customers will be elated as to what François will bring to their fingertips.
As Purism approaches shipping parity for the Librem 5 phone (where final delivery for a relatively small group of remaining customers were delayed by COVID and the global supply chain shortages), we have been focusing heavily on product improvements, François has a series of highly visible improvements to announce built by our ever-impressive team of experts committed to a future that respects privacy, has the best in security, and is the ultimate device for individual freedom.
Purism is committed to investing in product: hardware, software, and services. The majority of customers who have followed our incredible journey will appreciate the elevation of François into this important role that aligns perfectly with our social purpose commitment. I am confident under François’s leadership the product enhancements as well as future products will impress the majority of our customers.
