Conférencière

I have worked with Florence in the Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation Inc. when she was Chair and I was boardmember. Florence is a very capable and hard-working person, she combines absolute integrity with a keen strategic vision and a talent to comprehensively and unrelentingly study a vast number of relevant facts concerned. She has been and still is a great communicator and inspiration for a vast international community. She is one of the rare persons one can trust blindly.

Florence has a vision. As Chair of the Wikimedia Foundation, she helped bring the organisation one step further, from a small non-profit to one of the major actors of the non-profit scene today. She is a compelling speaker, as well as an excellent pedagogue. She knows how to captivate her audience and bring forward the important challenges of collaborative work, as well as help people understand how to apply her teachings to their everyday issues. She's your best bet to bring your organisation forward in the area of collaborative practices.

Anthere/Florence deserves more than just the three attributes above. She is a passionate community leader, an excellent and sought-after speaker in English (and I would assume possibly French as well!), and a veritable encyclopedia of biological and biome knowledge. Oh, she built such an Encylopedia too? And the highest ranked on the web? hmmm, what a surprise. That she now chairs the parent Foundation is not a coincidence. Hang out with this brilliant and powerful community leader someday and you'll find her curiously self-effacing and shy. Yet somehow she keeps on doing with her modest life what it takes 3 others to do normally. Or maybe she's up to 4 now. Highly recommended
