Chief Talent and Culture Officer

At the Wikimedia Foundation, our mission is to empower, support and engage people around the world to share in free knowledge. One of our top priorities for the WMF in 2015 is improving organizational effectiveness in service of this mission. This means we need to strengthen WMF's ability to set and deliver on commitments, improve organizational discipline around decision making, and mature internal processes and systems.

To ensure we can execute on our vision, mission, forthcoming strategy and our Call to Action, we have hired for a new position within our C-level team. Terry Gilbey will be joining us as interim Chief Operating Officer, responsible for building rigor and discipline around our operational processes. Terry’s role will help WMF stabilize our core operations so we will be ready and able to adapt and innovate in our changing environment. It will also help me find more time to focus on our products and communities.

With the introduction of the COO role, we are making some organizational reporting changes. Our Finance, Administration, and Culture and Talent teams will report to Terry. Garfield Byrd will continue to serve as the Chief Financial Officer for the organization, a member of the C-level team, and Treasurer of the Board.
