Kwon is being brought on to expand the company's DAO strategy as General Manager of DAOs, capitalizing on the company's early success in summoning MetricsDAO. 

"The future of organizations will be shaped by what is evolving right now in the DAO space," said Kwon.

My role at Flipside puts me right at the center of it all, working with a vibrant community of Web3 thought leaders, which is why I couldn't be more excited about this opportunity."

Additionally, she has held the CFO and business development positions at many well-known, innovative consumer brands including Goop.com, Disney/ABC and Oxygen Media Inc.
