My work

In the role of Chief Talent and Culture Officer for the Wikimedia Foundation, my job is to support the building of a healthy organization that can support our mission and vision. I'm accountable for recruiting and hiring, onboarding new employees, contractor relationships, leadership development, organization development, compensation and benefits, and other human resource services.

My work on this username is typically in my capacity as an employee, but that rarely means that it's not reversible. If it's an official action it will be clearly labeled (and please do not revert without discussing it with me in that case). Unless otherwise stated, any edit to this wiki by me is an act of a regular member of the community and administrator, not a legal or official action of the Wikimedia Foundation.
