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!)
