I am currently working at the Open Knowledge Foundation Germany, an NGO that strengthens and supports digital civil society. My responsibilities include elements of change management, talent and culture, operations and strategy.
I serve as the vice chair on the board of Wikimedia Austria, the local chapter supporting the volunteers behind Wikipedia and accompanying projects. I’m involved in the civic tech network Code for All and support grass-roots open data and open knowledge initiatives.
