Galaxis announced Gergely Fábián as its new CEO in October 2024. He brings a wealth of experience and fresh leadership to the team. With over 13 years of experience as a central banker and, more recently, a state secretary focused on AI and blockchain, Gergely is set to guide Galaxis through its next phase of innovation and expansion.
András Kristóf, the founder of Galaxis, will remain deeply involved with the company, continuing to focus on the vision and product development, ensuring that Galaxis remains at the forefront of Web3 advancements.
Transitioning from the Public to Private Sector: A Vision for Web3
Reflecting on his decision to join Galaxis, Gergely shared that long conversations with founder András Kristóf were pivotal. “András’s vision for Galaxis and the immense potential of blockchain technology were clear drivers for me,” he explained. “Once I got to know the team, I was impressed by the talent and motivation. That combination was key in my decision to join.”
For Gergely, this opportunity is the perfect alignment of his passion for innovation and his career-long mission of empowering systems to thrive.
Blockchain and AI: The Next Frontier for Galaxis
As a former state secretary who focused on AI and blockchain, Gergely sees these technologies as central to the future of Galaxis. “At the central bank, we began exploring blockchain early on. The potential of this technology is far-reaching, beyond just finance—into healthcare, research, and local economies,” he noted.
With blockchain and AI integrated into Galaxis, the platform is poised to revolutionize how decentralized communities operate. Gergely believes that the future lies in empowering creators and organizations across sectors, whether they are artists, small businesses, or nonprofits, to take control of their digital spaces.
Navigating Regulatory Challenges in Blockchain
Gergely’s experience in central banking has prepared him to face the regulatory hurdles in the blockchain space. “Successful regulation comes from constructive dialogue with stakeholders,” he shared, stressing that regulation should encourage innovation while ensuring compliance.
He also highlighted that blockchain regulation is still in its early stages but is confident that Galaxis can play an active role in shaping the regulatory landscape.
Revolutionizing the Creator Economy with Galaxis
When asked about Galaxis’s role in the creator economy, Gergely sees endless potential. “We’ve already worked with high-profile figures like Mike Tyson and Donald Trump, but Galaxis is more than celebrity partnerships. We want to empower creators, brands, and even nonprofits to build long-term, sustainable digital communities.”
Gergely believes that Galaxis is well-positioned to disrupt the traditional creator economy by giving individuals full control over their platforms, content, and communities.
Bridging Traditional Finance and Web3
One of Gergely’s primary goals is to bridge the gap between traditional finance and decentralized communities. “Mass adoption of Web3 will depend on integrating traditional finance systems,” he emphasized. Galaxis has already started bridging this gap, with Trump’s NFT collection being a notable example. “Most buyers used credit cards, which shows how accessible Web3 can be.”
Immediate Priorities as CEO
Gergely is already focused on clear priorities for Galaxis. “Our first goal is to develop key features based on community feedback,” he said. “Additionally, we’re looking to secure funding to expand globally, while putting the right structures in place to support our growth.”
Looking Ahead
In closing, Gergely expressed his excitement about leading Galaxis into the future of Web3. “The future is here at Galaxis. We’re building a platform where creators can truly take control of their digital spaces. I’m excited to be part of this journey and can’t wait to see what we’ll accomplish together.”
With Gergely Fábián at the helm, Galaxis is poised to scale new heights and continue delivering cutting-edge Web3 solutions to creators worldwide. His vision, experience, and passion make him the perfect leader for this exciting next chapter.
