Bernadette Meehan, current CEO, was US ambassador to Chile. Katherine Maher, the one before the previous CEO, is a member of the Atlantic Council. (Never beating the NATOpedia allegations.)

@chjara honestly the way the entire site is run
what do you mean a site begging folks from developing countries to donate money they don’t actually need while simultaneously milking unpaid volunteers for their free labour is against unionization

@chjara not sure if they still do this but they have put up the same donation banners for users in india asking for as low as 1₹ which seems orders of magnitude more desperate than they should even pretend to be
