Subject: Announcing new Chief Global Development Officer and new Chief
Community Officer
To: WikimediaAnnounce-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org
Hi folks,
I am really happy to announce two important new Wikimedia Foundation
hires. Zack Exley will be Wikimedia's new Chief Community Officer,
and Barry Newstead will be our Chief Global Development Officer. Both
will start just before Wikimania, and will join us in Gdansk.
Congratulations to both Zack and Barry! Exciting indeed. I realize
these roles will be formed as they are taken on, but it seems that
there is quite a bit of (intentional?) overlap. I am curious how you
see that working... both roles seem to involve supporting & growing
the communit(ies), perhaps in new ways. There are lots of questions
that I have regarding these job descriptions too -- what does
supporting the chapters mean? What does supporting the reader
community mean? And so on :)
Also as I'm sure you're aware it's definitely time to update
