Re: [Wikimedia-l] WMF C-level turnover

[Eileen Hershenov]

Hi all,

Well, as a C level who left WMF far too soon due to urgent personal and
family health issues, I will just say this on my own behalf: I loved
working at WMF. I loved working with my legal team, all of whose members
are wonderful and brilliant lawyers and utterly committed Wikimedians. I
loved the community. I felt equally strongly about Katherine and my C team
colleagues. And I felt the same about the board. Working at the
intersection of tech and human rights (access to knowledge, free speech,
etc) was challenging and motivating and invigorating. I didn’t want to
leave and had every intention of staying many, many years. And I think my
colleagues and supervisor felt the same. But sometimes ... life happens.

Anyhow just wanted to give that true plug from the former General Counsel
at WMF who left much sooner than she wanted. And by the way, it is pretty
cool that the CEO and Board Chair of the Foundation supporting one of the
top tech platforms in the world are millennial women. (It’s International
Women’s Day. Had to add that!)

[Wikimedia-l] WMF C-level turnover

[Strainu]

Hi,

Are there any public informations on the C-level average duration of
employment and turnover levels in WMF compared to other NGOs and/or
companies in the Bay area?

It occurred to me that the turnover seems significantly higher that what I
am seeing in tech companies, but I might be missing some context.

Thank you,
  Strainu

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wikimediaindia-l] Celebrating Women's Day : Wikimedia India

[Subhashish Panigrahi]

Great to see many old and new faces - I guess many Wikimedians might not
know active contributors from other language communities. Congratulations
to all the friends who made it to the list. :) Thanks Yohann and other
friends at WMIN for the research and letting us know about these
Wikimedians who are leading the Wikimedia movement in India and helping
bridge the gender gap.
