About me
Karyn Gladstone joined the Wikimedia Foundation in November, 2011 as the Director of Community Operations. Karyn is deeply embedded in the non-profit and open-source communities, and brings years of experience in non-profit technology project management and strategy to her work at the Foundation.
My work
Karyn leads the Editor Engagement Experiments (E3) team -- a cross-functional team focused on conducting small, rapid experiments in search of the silver bullet(s) that will increase editor retention on the projects. Karyn's team is engaged in deep community, product, and policy thinking -- translating those ideas into experiments geared toward increasing editor engagement and retention.
Disclaimer: I work for or provide services to the Wikimedia Foundation, and this is the account I try to use for edits or statements I make in that role. However, the Foundation does not vet all my activity, and edits, statements, or other contributions made by this account may not reflect the views of the Foundation.
Presented to Karyn's team, through her, for their excellent work on identifying and experimenting with ways to fix the editor decline on Wikipedia. Philippe Beaudette, Wikimedia Foundation (talk) 05:06, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
