Date: Wed, May 5, 2010 at 3:27 PM<br>Subject: [Wikimedia Announcements] [Announcement] Howie Fung joins Wikimedia<br>To: <a href="mailto:wikimediaannounce-l@lists.wikimedia.org">wikimediaannounce-l@lists.wikimedia.org</a><br>
<br><br>Hello all,<br>
<br>
I'm pleased to announce that Howie Fung, who has been supporting us as<br>
a consultant since October 2009, is joining the Wikimedia Foundation<br>
as Senior Product Manager. In the immediate future, Howie will<br>
continue to support the deployment of our user experience<br>
improvements, as well as the continuing development and deployment of<br>
the FlaggedRevs extension for the English Wikipedia. In the longer<br>
term, Howie will help us to build Wikimedia's product development<br>
roadmap by commissioning and assessing research and analytics, and by<br>
engaging in broad consultative processes.<br>
<br>
Most recently, Howie was Senior Product Manager at Rhapsody,<br>
where he helped grow the music site's traffic five-fold within the the<br>
first year<br>
on the basis of extensive customer research, including web analytics,<br>
focus groups, user testing, and customer surveys. Prior to that, Howie<br>
was Product Manager at eBay, prioritizing features based on business<br>
objectives, usability studies, and economic impact. Howie has more<br>
than 15 years of experience in product management, business analysis<br>
and strategy, technology evaluation, and team incubation. He has an<br>
MBA from The Anderson School at UCLA and a Bachelor of Science in<br>
Chemical Engineering from Stanford University.<br>
<br>
As a consultant, Howie completed several key projects, including the<br>
survey of former contributors [1], the analysis of feedback from the<br>
user experience beta [2], and extensive analysis of the user<br>
interface, workflows and terminology used in the FlaggedRevs<br>
extension. He has also supported Wikimedia's five-year business<br>
planning process. We're very pleased that Howie is joining Wikimedia's<br>
permanent staff: please join me in welcoming him!<br>
<br>
All best,<br>
Erik<br>
