Hi Everyone,

I’m happy to announce that, as of today, Tilman Bayer has officially joined the Reading product team as a Senior Analyst. He will increase our capacity for understanding our users and the impact of our efforts through data analysis. Tilman is responsible for:

• generating our primary metrics and communicating them

• consulting on, analyzing and communicating the results of feature-specific instrumentation

• driving best practices within the team with regard to analysis (aided by his background in mathematics)

Tilman has been shadowing the team for about a quarter, and has ramped up his involvement dramatically over the last month.  During this period, Tilman has moved quickly and is already owning the analysis of a significant number of our ongoing projects.

Tilman’s weekly reading metrics report (example) is currently being sent out to the Mobile-l mailing list (which serves as the Reading team’s primary public mailing list). We are still gathering feedback from the subscribers of that list and once we have a sustainable and stable format, we hope to share more widely.

Tilman has been working with us since July 2011, and has been a Wikipedian since 2003. He was an analyst on the Communications team until Erik Moeller asked him to join Product & Strategy at the beginning of this year. Tilman will be moving out of his current role in Terry’s department where he is right now wrapping up the current round of quarterly reviews and preparation of the organization-wide quarterly report for Q1.

Best,

Jon
