The VeChain Foundation, an organization established in Singapore, serves as the primary driving force behind the adoption of VeChain and the VET token. It oversees the project's development, promotion, and governance. The Foundation's direction is guided by the Steering Committee, which undergoes biennial elections and is currently led by the project's founders.

One of VeChain's co-founders, Jay (Jie) Zhang, formerly held the role of CFO. He played an instrumental role in designing the VeChain governance framework. In December 2019, a hack occurred for which he took full responsibility, subsequently leading to his reported resignation from the CFO position. Before joining VeChain, Jay Zhang had notable tenures at Deloitte and PwC spanning more than a dozen years.
Kevin Feng, a partner at VeChain and former COO, joined the project with a wealth of experience, having spent over 12 years at PwC. His expertise lies in risk assurance and cybersecurity, and he was a key figure in shaping PwC's blockchain services. Kevin Feng decided to step down from his role for "personal reasons" towards the end of 2020.
