Naoris Protocol is proud to announce the appointment of David Holtzman as Chief of Strategy, in the run-up to launching products in Web 2 and Web 2 in 2023. Holtzman is the former IBM Chief Scientist and designer of the global DNS System used by ICANN, and a renowned dotcom innovator and strategist in Web 2 & Web 3.

As an early Internet pioneer, Holtzman designed and built numerous information management systems, and is the author of several major patents. In the late 1990s he oversaw the global Domain Name System (DNS) during Y2K, and as CTO of Network Solutions, managed the Internet’s master root server, overseeing the growth of the commercial Internet from 500,000 to the first 20 million registered domain names.

For the last six years, he has been consulting to blockchain companies including Ocean Protocol, advising them on software architecture and protocols for blockchain-based information systems built on crypto tokens.
Holtzman is also a former military codebreaker, author and futurist who addresses global societal impacts brought about by ubiquitous access to information. He is the author of “Privacy Lost: How Technology is Endangering Your Privacy,” in which he anticipated the advent of today’s world of invasive technology.
