Regarding his resignation from the firm,Edwards recently stated that:
“It’s true that my work here is done and it is time to move on. This has been one of the best experiences of my professional career, and I am incredibly privileged to have worked alongside such a talented and passionate team in building this business. R3 has broken away as the market leader and standout partner of choice for professionals looking to apply this technology to their industries. I couldn’t be prouder.”
His departure from the firm at this particular time is reportedly related to a strategic difference regarding how investment in startups built on top of Corda will be carried out, a base for running open-source applications and R3’s blockchain fabric and base for running open-source applications.
According to the company, Edwards has been clamouring for a chance “to set up his own independent investment shop, one dedicated to driving Corda adoption globally,”As a result of his need to set out on his own, the R3 has decided that it made sense for him to explore his own path.
