BEAVERTON, OR – Sez Us has announced the appointment of Akshay Gupta as its new Chief Executive Officer. Gupta, who previously served as the company's Chief Operating Officer, was appointed by the company's Chairman and Co-Founder, Joe Trippi. The decision was made public on August 30, 2025.

Joe Trippi, renowned for his expertise in building online audiences, founded Sez Us to provide an alternative to algorithm-driven social networks. The platform emphasizes civil dialogue, empowering users to interact with real individuals rather than being driven solely by traffic metrics.
