Description: blog personal de Josema Alonso
People who know me well know that I hate farewells. It’s not my thing; what can I say? I think it’s because they are too hard for me to deal with. And this one, oh, this one, it’s even tougher, so even when such a tenure would deserve a long post, please do understand I need to keep this brief.
I was very excited and optimistic when I joined the Web Foundation in 2011 moving on from W3C and CTIC . It is a move I haven’t regretted a single moment. I’ve been the Foundation’s longest serving team member after 12 years there, and taking the decision to leave has been extremely difficult; I still feel a hole in my heart.
I have been Director of Programs (Open Data, then Digital Citizenship), Director of Strategy and Partnerships, Director of Strategy and Operations, and Interim CEO (twice!). This, combined with my years of tenure, means that I have participated in and managed quite a few exciting projects, worked with incredible partners, donors, board members and teammates and, of course, learned a thing or two along the way.
