Blockchain-based Storj Labs, decentralized cloud storage has announced the addition of three new members to its Technical Advisory Board.

According to the company’s official release, Michael Cohn, Tyler Scriven, and Warren Weber will be joining the team. The announcement coincides with the company’s parallel launch of commercial operations and its last test group of rewards for participants.

“We’re extremely pleased to have Michael, Tyler and Warren join our team as we launch operations this month. Storj was built specifically for software developers and we are excited to allow them to start seeing the benefits of a distributed, end-to-end encrypted object storage network: higher security, better performance at half the cost of the big guys,” Storj CEO, Shawn Wilkinson said.

Michael Cohn, an entrepreneur is the managing director of Techstars Atlanta, in partnership with Cox Enterprises. He recently co-founded Cloud Sherpas in 2008 and has served in a variety of roles, including CEO, head of Marketing, head of Product Development and Programmer.

Tyler Scriven, a senior technology executive and early stage venture capitalist was previously a member of the senior leadership team at Palantir Technologies where he engaged in scaling the operations of the business from 100 to nearly 2,000 employees. He also co-founded ThinAir Labs, a Combinator-backed data security company.

“The power of the Storj platform is its unique ability to indiscriminately utilize the free capacity of a storage node, whether a single end-user PC or a massive data center. Storj is bringing an unprecedented degree of efficiency to globally distributed data storage,” Tyler said.

Warren Weber, an economist, recently retired as Senior Research Officer at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. He has taught at the University of Minnesota, the University of South Carolina, Duke University, Tulane University, and Virginia Tech. He received his Ph.D. in economics from Carnegie Mellon University.

Joining the Storj team, Weber said, “I am excited to be a part of the development of SJCX and to help with the monetary policy and payments issues involved in making that currency successful. One can speculate and theorize about what those issues might be, but what is so exciting is that this is a chance for me to learn about and address those issues first hand.”

Storj Labs is a blockchain-based, end-to-end encrypted, distributed object storage where only the users have access to their data. Launched in 2015, Storj Labs is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, with offices in Salt Lake City, Utah and Berlin, Germany.
