Executive Director

I'm Global Voices' executive director, since the middle of 2008. Prior to working with GV, I spent 10 years working in media development in the former Soviet Union and Asia, supporting and training journalists and working on media co-productions. Much of that time I was with Internews. I'm also a photographer, and have worked and traveled in 70 countries. I speak Russian, manage in German, have forgotten Slovak and Czech, and can make it home in Thai.

In response, the Global Voices community has decided to join websites such as Wikipedia, Reddit and BoingBoing in “going dark”, and will black out the Global Voices Advocacy site for 12 hours on January 18, and display a banner on other Global Voices sites that provides more information about the proposed laws.
