The board followed the transition team’s unanimous recommendation and hired Christian effective May 1, 2015. Wikimedia Deutschland is shaped by the work of volunteers as well as paid professionals. Christian Rickerts comes with experience from both perspectives. In 1995, he co-founded Schüler Helfen Leben e. V., a non-profit association that promotes equal access to education for children and young people in the Balkans. Later, he served as the association’s first Executive Director and led the Schüler Helfen Leben Foundation. After that, he worked in the for-profit as well as the non-profit sector, first as a consultant for strategy and organizational development at Capgemini, then as the Executive Director of the German section of Reporters Without Borders. Since 2012, he has been Vice President Corporate Communication at the Bertelsmann Stiftung, the largest privately held non-profit foundation in Germany. Christian’s profound knowledge of the intersection between voluntary and paid work as well as his value-driven thinking and methodological diversity have deeply impressed us. We are thrilled to get him on board and to shape Wikimedia Deutschland’s future together. Christian is highly motivated to join the Wikimedia movement. We are confident that he is the perfect fit for the role of the Executive Director. Jan Engelmann will continue to be our interim ED until May.
