Kassia Echavarri-Queen

Hello everyone! I am excited to have joined the Wikimedia Movement and the Foundation in June 2020. Previously I worked at Thoughtworks as a Principal Consultant advising both nonprofit and for-profit clients on how to define, structure and build the organizational and technical capabilities needed to implement modern digital strategies. I have spent the bulk of my career at Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF). I began my work with MSF in 2006 in Sierra Leone, having previously worked in marketing and strategy for technology companies, start-ups, and the Fritz Institute. In the years that followed, I worked extensively in a wide range of projects with MSF and as Country Director in Guatemala, South Sudan, and Syria. I was an elected volunteer member of MSF USA’s Board of Directors until 2022.
