[Wikimedia Announcements] Introducing Anasuya Sengupta, Director Global Learning and Grantmaking at the Wikimedia Foundation

 Hi -

I want to introduce Anasuya Sengupta as the new Director, Global Learning
and Grantmaking at the Wikimedia Foundation.  She will be starting on
Monday, July 2.  In this role, Anasuya will lead our work in support of the
Funds Dissemination Committee, work with Asaf Bartov on grant-making and
with Jessie Wild in helping us to plan, monitor, evaluate and learn from
our programmatic work in a new team area, Global Learning and Evaluation
that Jessie will be leading (more soon on this).  She will also serve as a
close thought-partner for me and the rest of the GD team in the leadership
of our work.

I am thrilled that Anasuya is joining us. She brings a deep passion for
social justice and an understanding of the power of free knowledge as an
enabler of opportunity for everyone. She will help us hold to our
commitments to increase the diversity of our community and has great
experience working collaboratively to change communities for the better.
She is also a really interesting person who I think we will all enjoy being
around and learning from.

Below is an introduction that Anasuya prepared.

For those of you who will be at Wikimania, I know Anasuya is excited to
meet with all of you there.

Please join me in welcoming Anasuya to our team.

Best,
Barry
