Office of the Executive Director

Executive Director


The Wikimedia Foundation is part of a broad global network of individuals, organizations, chapters, clubs and communities who together work to create Wikipedia and many other freely used, freely edited, freely copied and freely redistributed projects; the most powerful example of volunteer collaboration and open content sharing in the world today.

Engineering and Product Development

Erik Möller
Erik Möller
Deputy Director;
Vice President of Engineering and Product Development


Wikimedia engineering and product development refers to the engineering and product team employed by the Wikimedia Foundation. Its mission is to build, improve and maintain the technical infrastructure of Wikimedia projects (software and hardware), by supporting and complementing volunteer efforts.

Global Development

[[File:|x110px|link=User:|]]


The Global Development team exists to provide for focused efforts to build Wikimedia's projects in places we are not yet the ubiquitous free knowledge resource. We pilot approaches ourselves and via partners (chapters, community groups, like-minded organizations, individuals) with the goal of creating scalable programs that build our editor communities and create high quality knowledge in local languages around the globe with a priority in the Global South. We seek to extend our reach to billions of people with our mobile strategy. We serve the global movement via our global education, catalyst, mobile, grants, and global learning teams.

Fundraising

Zack Exley
Zack Exley
Chief Revenue Officer


The fundraiser is turning into something that educates Wikimedia users about how our projects and movement work. Tens of millions of users click on banners and read the appeals every year. The primary mission of the Wikimedia Foundation fundraising team is now to improve that educational function. Imagine future campaigns that focus on recruiting new editors more than new donors. That's what we're trying to get to.

Geoff Brigham
Geoff Brigham
General Counsel


Legal and Community Advocacy team members oversee all legal matters for the Foundation and focus on key initiatives to help support the community consistent with our Foundation goals and values. This team deals with a wide range of issues and projects, including policy drafting, trademark and copyright law, international law, employment law, litigation, fundraising and grant law, domestic and international contracts, privacy law, ethics, internet law, and non-profit corporate governance.

The team is also charged with carrying forward the Foundation’s goals of advocating for the community in new ways, including fighting for content online, facilitating community discussions about critical Wikimedia Foundation initiatives that affect the community, better supporting Wikimedia administrators and functionaries, and providing information about legal and legislative issues that impact online content.

Learn more about the team's responsibilities.
