Yves La Rose

Yves La Rose, the co-founder and CEO of EOS Nation and executive director of the EOS Network Foundation, a non-profit organization supporting the growth of the EOS network, has a diverse background. He demonstrated an early interest in information technology, creating his first computer and writing his first program at the age of seven. Although his academic pursuits initially focused on arts and biology, he earned a Bachelor of Arts in 2005 and a Bachelor of Science in 2013 from the University of Ottawa, where he also developed a fascination with computational neuropsychology. His passion for decentralization and blockchain technology led him to mine Bitcoin in 2010, utilizing his BTC earnings to upgrade his computer. Before fully committing to the crypto industry, he worked in national politics, serving as an economist and policy adviser for the Canadian federal government and later in the communications department for an elected political representative in Canada. In 2016, he transitioned to a career in the crypto space, co-founding an educational group. In February 2018, La Rose co-founded EOS Nation with six others and assumed the role of CEO at the EOS Network Foundation in August 2021.
