About me

I joined the Wikimedia Foundation in May 2013. Before that, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor at California Western School of Law, where I taught E-Commerce Law and Information Privacy Law. I have also worked as a Google Policy Fellow at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an Academic Fellow at Harvard Law School, and spent several years in private practice. I hold an LL.M. from Harvard Law School, a J.D. from University of Southern California, and an LL.B. from the London School of Economics and Political Science.

In addition to my work for Wikimedia, I research and write about online communities, intellectual property, and information privacy in affiliation with Stanford Center for Internet and Society. My recent publications include A Face Tells More than a Thousand Posts: Developing Face Recognition Privacy in Social Networks, 26 Harvard J. L. & T. 165 (2012) and Facing Real-Time Identification in Mobile Apps & Wearable Computers, 30 Santa Clara Computer & High Tech. L.J. 89 (2014).

I love art, design, architecture, and travel. I’m bilingual in Swedish and Russian and have lived in Sweden, Russia, Ireland, the UK, and various cities on both coasts of the U.S. before settling down in beautiful San Francisco.

My work

I manage the legal work for trademarks, Wikipedia Zero, and HR and work on various other matters that arise out of running all the wonderful Wikimedia projects.
