Hi everyone,
I’m writing to let you know that our VP of Human Resources, Boryana Dineva, has decided to move on.
Boryana joined the Wikimedia Foundation last fall and quickly began working with the HR team to build a recruiting team, hire a learning and development lead, support the creation of a comprehensive wellness plan for the upcoming year, and focus HR efforts on engaging with the findings of the engagement survey.
Boryana connected on a personal level with many of you. She wanted me to pass along her strong support for the future of the Foundation and our mission. We thank her for her contributions and wish her well in her future endeavors.
Starting today Joady Lohr will lead the Team Practices and Talent and Culture department as interim director, joining the c-team. Joady has been with the Foundation for 4 years now, and is known and trusted by many across the organization. We’re looking forward to supporting her and the rest of the team on ongoing projects during this interim period.
The executive team plans to open up a search for a new executive head of HR to lead the Talent, Culture, and Team Practices teams right away.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to Joady.
Kind regards,
Geoff
