All,
I’m writing to let you know that Terry Gilbey will be leaving the WMF. As Interim Chief Operating Officer this year, he helped us improve operational processes across the organization during an important time. I thank him for completing this service.
During this time WMF teams became stronger, with more freedom to make right decisions in support of our communities. The Team Practices Group will continue to carry forward maintaining and helping improve the organizational processes we put into place.
With improved processes in place, I see the need to focus our attention on WMF culture. With this change, we will take the first step: Boryana will join the C-Level team, representing HR and employee voice at the top level of organizational leadership.
Our search for a new Chief Financial Officer is well on its way. Until we have a new CFO on board, the Finance team will report to me. The Office IT, Administration, and the Team Practices teams will report to Boryana. The Technology team that was co-managed by Terry and Wes will continue to be managed by Wes until we fill the leadership role internally or externally.
