Before joining the Wikimedia Foundation, she served as the communications director at the Knight Foundation, worked at the United Nations on global peacekeeping initiatives, and supported communications for the United Nations Population Fund.

Her career has also included healthcare, journalism, and even practicing employment and human rights law in her hometown of Toronto.

Throughout Anusha's work, one theme has remained constant, how organizations communicate their values, earn trust, and help people understand why the mission matters.

Yeah, this is such an important question.

Both Wikimedia and Knight are really focused on the power of technology to democratize information, and they both lean into the original promise of the Internet to seed more connection and big ideas.

I actually joined Knight Foundation in 2013.

And at that time, in the foundation world, it really was ahead of its time in its funding of media innovation, technology that would get people good information in new and faster ways.

To me, it looks like we have a private citizen who is taking unilateral action in a war, one.

Two, I'm reminded of something that an old friend and mentor of mine, Alberto Ibargüen, when he was president of the Knight Foundation, Remember him saying to me about the Internet, Congress shall make no law that will infringe on the rights of the American people at large.

But then he asked the question, what happens if it's not Congress that is infringing on their rights? And Starlink, his role in X, the social media platform, He is now someone who is infringing on the rights of the American people writ large.

And so whether it's disrupting Starlink for Ukraine or flooding hundreds of millions of dollars into campaigns around the country, this is somebody who it would be wonderful, if not the president, then Congress stepping in and saying, no, no, no, no, this is not your role.
