      She spent 2 yrs at McK 20+ yrs ago - hardly a personality-defining milestone, given how a lot of business students start their career in consulting.

        I mean that’s pretty standard for a McKinsey ghoul:

        • Step 1: go to an ivy league college, get a business degree
        • Step 2: work for McKinsey for a few years as an associate
        • Step 3: get a job at a McKinsey client leapfrogging everyone else into management/c-suite
        • Step 4: hire McKinsey to bring their arrogant children into your org and screw things up

        Everything about her subsequent career has been going from one upper management/c-suite role in a tech company to another. This is not the resume of a person who should be running a nonprofit that controls the most important open source project on the internet. But beyond that just look at what she’s done in her one month at Mozilla:

          1. Massive round of layoffs
          1. “Focus on {buzzword}” where {buzzword} in this case is AI

        That’s straight out of the McKinsey playbook.

          For once I see legitimate criticism about Mozilla without the Lunduke part. And the worst part is that just like Emily, Laura will be protected from all scrutiny just because she is a woman. It will not matter that she is a capitalist from McKinsey, or that she will eat away at developers’ salaries and walk away happily with no consequences. Maybe we will see again, just like Emily, beach photos with arrogance and insults?

          Terrible times for Mozilla. AI obsession is just extra damage.

              The figurehead is chosen selectively, most likely for political purposes, since Mozilla wants to relate to California rather than Florida. Emily was not competent at all, and Laura somehow comes from McKinsey to handle a non-profit giant. There are plenty people worthy of running Mozilla that are not capitalist leeches.
