I am very pleased to announce that the WMDE Supervisory Board appointed
Abraham Taherivand as Interim Executive Director as of 8 December 2016.
Abraham has joined WMDE in March 2012 and is the Head of our Software
Development department. He has been on the transition team during the
last

of
the
Executive Director recently. In his multiple roles, Abraham’s
decisions
have always been made in the sense of the
Wikimedia Deutschland as a
whole.
