Sharing this from our internal WMF list for your visibility...
Thank you, Lila, for sharing this here - this type of announcement has always been publicly posted on wikimedia-l in the past, so hopefully this level of transparency will continue in the future. :-)
I'd like to introduce Jamie Villagomez, our incoming Chief Financial Officer. He brings more than 20 years of experience leading finance in small startups and large companies, and supporting non-profits as a volunteer and an advisor. Jaime will be joining us February 1st, overseeing our Finance, Administration, and OIT teams.
Welcome Jamie/Jaime!
I would like to thank everyone involved in this search, especially Amy Elder and Boryana , who managed the recruiting process through a new, open approach.
Could you elaborate on the 'new, open approach', please - who did this involve, and where is the process documented?
Thanks, Mike
