I'm the former ED of the Wikimedia Foundation, currently a special advisor to the WMF Board of Trustees and Executive Director.
I'm a Canadian citizen, born in Barbados, permanent resident of the United States. I live in San Francisco. I edit mostly on the English Wikipedia. When I was running the WMF I was also pretty active on meta: I'm expecting my meta activity will likely now decline :)
I've got an honorary doctorate of laws from Ryerson University, I represented the Wikimedia Foundation as a Technology Pioneer at the 2008 World Economic Forum at Davos, was once ranked by Forbes magazine as the world’s 70th most powerful woman, in 2013 was the inaugural recipient of the Knight Innovation Award, and was once
very pleased to be described by a German newspaper as the Head of the Nerdprojekt. I've been interviewed many, many times by media around the world, have visited 48 countries on six continents, and given talks in 19. I'm an advisor or board member for a variety of non-profit, grantmaking and policy organizations, mostly related to technology, free culture, media and digital rights.
