I'm pleased to announce that today, Giuseppe Lavagetto will be joining
the Operations Team as an Operations Engineer. Giuseppe is based in Rome, Italy and will be working with us remotely.
Yay, more European ops staff!
Welcome Giuseppe!
Cheers, Katie
He's coming from Venere, a daughter company of Expedia, and has greatly helped streamline Operations and improve service reliability there.
Giuseppe is very passionate about free and open source, free content and
user privacy, and these aspects are strong motivations for him to join the Wikimedia Foundation. In his free time, he's an active volunteer with Autistici[1], a project that provides users communications privacy and helps avoid censorship. He also likes to contribute to various small FLOSS projects and loves music, blues, soul and hip-hop in particular. He's happily living with his wife and 11 year old step-daughter in Rome.
Giuseppe will be joining us next week in our off-site team meeting in
Athens, which should be a short trip for him. :)
Please welcome Giuseppe!
