Vael Gates — Founder & Executive Director at Arkose

The record claims Vael Gates held the role of 'Founder & Executive Director' with an endDate of 2024. The source text confirms Vael Gates founded Arkose, but explicitly states that as of August 2024, Victoria Brook is 'joining the Arkose team as our next Executive Director' and that 'Victoria will be taking over from Vael Gates, who will remain in an advisory capacity as the organization's President.' This indicates Vael Gates is no longer Executive Director by the endDate specified (2024). The role transition occurred in 2024, making the endDate accurate in year but the role description incomplete/inaccurate—Vael Gates transitioned to President, not simply ending the Executive Director role. However, since the record lists the role as 'Founder & Executive Director' without temporal qualification within that role, and the source shows this role ended in 2024 with a transition to President, the record's characterization of the role is contradicted by the source's more precise description of the transition.
