Chief Executive Officer

The Chief Executive Officer is the senior staff officer of the Wikimedia Foundation, overseeing the operations of the Foundation and its professional staff. The Chief Executive Officer reports to the Board of Trustees and is supported by the Office of the CEO.

The CEO is responsible for running the business side of the Wikimedia Foundation, engaging with communities to inform decision making, and representing the Wikimedia Foundation to the broader public.


Bernadette Meehan became the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Wikimedia Foundation in January 2026.


Bernadette came to the Wikimedia Foundation having served as U.S. Ambassador to Chile. She graduated from Boston College and worked at J.P. Morgan, helping design one of its first web-based client platforms. She joined the Department of State in 2004 as a Foreign Service Officer with postings in Colombia, Iraq, and the United Arab Emirates, and also in a variety of roles in Washington, D.C. at the Department of State and the White House National Security Council (NSC). She then taught classes at Georgetown University for a year.

In 2017 she helped President and Mrs. Obama as they launched the Obama Foundation, and led the design of leadership development programs across Africa, Asia-Pacific, South Asia, Europe, and Latin America. In 2022, she returned to public service as U.S. Ambassador to Chile, a country she first visited as a 17-year-old.
