Terrified. For that reason, I actually did not unveil my country-of-origin to the Board
until a few weeks ago. That is one of Canadians' special skills: we can walk amongst
Americans, and they are completely unaware :-)
(I did tell the European board members. And Bishakha.)

Canadians are good for Wikimedia because we have a,
uh, healthy sensitivity
to American cultural dominance. When Barry and I were kids, our prime
minister famously characterized Canada as a mouse in bed with an elephant --
no matter how friendly the elephant is, you're affected by every twitch and
grunt ;-)
I'm in Canada right now, speaking with librarians :-)

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.
There will be a press release going out tomorrow, but the news isn't
confidential: please feel free to tell whoever you like.
Zack Exley will be our new Chief Community Officer. Zack joins
Wikimedia from the Chicago-based firm Thoughtworks where he oversaw
strategy and technology projects for organizations like Obama For
America, Rock the Vote, and Global Zero.
Zack has a long history of mobilizing people and facilitating them
reaching their goals. During the nineties, he worked as a labour
organizer and software developer. In 2002, he joined
MoveOn.org as
director of organizing, where he ran mobilization and fundraising
campaigns – and in the same period, helped the Howard Dean campaign
with its online fundraising. Zack left
MoveOn.org to become online
communications and organizing director for the 2004 Kerry-Edwards U.S.
presidential campaign, where he ran the team that raised $125 million
online for Kerry, and also oversaw online-to-offline organizing
efforts responsible for mobilizing hundreds of thousands of field
volunteers. In 2005, he led internet strategy and online fundraising
for the UK Labour Party's 2005 election campaign, and since 2005 he
has acted as a senior strategist and advisor helping many
mission-driven organizations advance their fundraising and
mobilization goals, including the American Civil Liberties Union,
Amnesty International, the National Association for the Advancement of
Colored People (NAACP), the International Rescue Committee and
Greenpeace USA.
Zack grew up in Connecticut and has also lived in Kenya, China and the
United Kingdom. He has an BA in Economics from the University of
Massachusetts.
As Chief Community Officer, Zack will be responsible for developing
the Wikimedia Found
