He'll identify and develop deals with for-profit companies, particularly where those deals help us make the projects' materials available to more people, in more ways, around the world. Business development at a nonprofit is all about putting together deals that bring in money while simultaneously advancing the mission: I am confident Kul can do that for us.

Thankyou to Vishal and welcome to Kul.
I am happy to hear he is familiar with Wikimedia Commons and Wikiversity. :)
Media is much more flexible than text and there are many, many
interesting things (partnerships aimed at spreading Wikimedia Commons
content) that could happen. So I look forward to seeing what might be
in store.

BTW, I what happened to "Head of Development" (fundraising person)?
The job opening came and went with no word so far.

cheers,
Brianna
