About me

Hi! I'm Guillaume Paumier. I've been serving the Wikimedia community as a volunteer since 2005 in almost every possible role, from writing Wikipedia articles to giving presentations, doing crosswiki service work, helping small wikis deal with vandalism, creating documents, operating a bot, organizing events, translating articles and software, administering the French Wikimedia chapter, co-authoring a book on Wikipedia, co-leading the Volunteer response team, and taking pictures for Wikimedia.

I completed my Ph.D. in the field of labs-on-chips and microfluidics for analytical chemistry in November 2008.

My work

I am currently working for the Wikimedia Foundation as Chief of Staff to the CPTO. Before that, I worked as Product Manager for the Multimedia usability project (2009–2010), as Technical Communications Manager (2011–2014) and as Senior Analyst (2014–2017). In 2017, I was a Lead Architect for the Movement strategy process, and later served as Principal Program Manager in the Advancement department (2018−2023).

Stuff

I'm guilty of creating Wikipedia-themed versions of a few Internet memes:

  Based on Keep calm and carry on.

  This one went a bit viral among Wikipedians.
