Some big news to close out 2025: Stephen Wolfram has officially joined Automattic as a Special Advisor.
Exceptional products are shaped by visionary leadership, rigorous expertise, and long-term thinking. For decades, Stephen has encapsulated those values and, as one of the most influential thinkers in computation, will help guide the open-source mission into 2026 and beyond.
His connection to Automattic goes back years. A remote CEO for over three decades, Stephen spoke at the grand meetup in 2019, has appeared on the Distributed Podcast with Matt Mullenweg and now, he’ll do so in an official capacity.
Stephen, the founder of Wolfram Research, creator of Mathematica, Wolfram|Alpha, and the Wolfram Language, has already met with Automattic multiple times for open-invitation advisory sessions.
