Bitwarden New CEO has extensive M&A, Private equity experience, Removes Transparency from its Motto (www.fastcompany.com)

I find this move concerning, and wish that the Founder had looked for a new CEO that shared his values rather than a Private Equity and Mergers Expert.

Furthermore, the change to the GRIT motto is worrying. Trust is useless without Transparency when it comes to code and security.

That's a great point.

I don't want to trust them either. I don't want to have to.

The only "devil's advocate" argument I can think of is they're trying to appeal to enterprise clients (who would not know that and want to "trust" a security company). That would explain the "I" change: "inclusion" (sadly) sounds political, "innovation" is like corporate catnip. Bitwarden could be trying to attract big fish to fund development, having their cake an eating it.
