Prior to joining Conservancy, she was the executive director of the GNOME Foundation. Before that, she was the general counsel of the Software Freedom Law Center. Karen co-organizes Outreachy, the award-winning outreach program with the goal of improving diversity to address under-representation, systemic bias, or discrimination in tech .
