I find the term "Advancement Department" has a somewhat Orwellian ring.

The FAQ mentions that –

The new role is focused on creating value for the Wikimedia movement and on
supporting our ability to fulfil our mission. Value can be understood in
many different ways. We believe that it can be about relationships with
people, relationships with organizations, or in some cases, additional
financial resources.

Would it be possible to translate this into something more accessible? What
sorts of "additional financial resources" are we talking about, and who
would supply them to whom?

[Tanweer Morshed]

Welcome to Kourosh! Wikimedians around the world have already been creating
partnerships under various programs including GLAMs and with universities,
institutions etc. This is rational from the sense that this new department
(Strategic Partnerships) would address all these issues along with further
ways for improvement. Looking forward to Kourosh and his team's endeavors,
hope they bring meaningful and impact-driven partnerships for Wikimedia
movement. :)

[Wikimedia-l] function titles 'n stuff

[Lodewijk]

Hi,
Actually, not so much a personel org chart, but rather a general
description what the function titles mean (ED, Director, Manager, Chief,
Head etc.), which supposedly should be much more stable and therefore
easier to grasp? For someone not embedded in US company nomenclature this
is all quite confusing and the general description articles on enwiki are
not very helpful either...
