After ~7 years, I am stepping away from being the CEO of AIM and will transition to a board member. My current planned last day is December 1st, giving ample time for a smooth transition. As is true for most times a CEO or co-founder leaves an organization, this is for a pretty large variety of reasons. The biggest three are that: 1) AIM is in a stable place, 2) My counterfactual impact, and 3) My fit for founder vs. CEO roles. You can see more details on each of these in my Substack post.
AIM has been one of the most meaningful parts of my life, and that's in no small part due to working with such driven and aligned people. When I first set out to create CE many years ago, I never could have envisioned we'd get to where we are today, and I have no doubt AIM will continue to scale its impact over the next 9 months and beyond. If you're interested in what I will be doing next, you can follow my career optimization Substack to find out! I will cross-post a few of these blogs to the EA forum but not the majority of them.
Thanks for all your work Joey! If it is the case that your counterfactual impact is lower now, it is coming down from a high place, because I have been impressed with AIM for a while and my impression is that you were pivotal in founding and running it.
