“We are delighted to have Patrick Workman join the fast growing team at Unlock,” said Unlock Founder & CEO Julien Genestoux. “Patrick will be a key player in expanding our impact and delivering on our mission of creating a new membership model for online communities.”

Workman is well-versed in creating and expanding partnership networks for big technology players, with past positions at Facebook, Instagram, Experian, and Pinterest. This understanding of Web2 ecosystems motivated Workman to expand adoption of Unlock, a model that moves beyond capturing our attention to creating value between people with shared passions.

“For the web to evolve beyond surface level solutions, such as targeted advertising, it needs solutions built at the protocol level,” said VP, Business Development & Partnerships, Patrick Workman “I am thrilled to join the Unlock team to empower creators of all kinds to form direct relationships with their communities and monetize their work through NFTs.”
The movement towards Web3 offers an opportunity to implement an alternative business model for content creators trapped in the traditional walled gardens of social media and publication platforms.
Unlock enables creators to foster direct connections to their audiences that are website and app agnostic, meaning they can move to new online venues without their communities needing to set up new logins. In fact, with Unlock users never need to login to websites whose platforms harvest personal data as the price for access and then turn around and use that data to sell targeted ads.
