Wikimedia and recent work

In May 2007, Gardner resigned from CBC, and shortly thereafter began consulting for the Wikimedia Foundation as a special advisor on operations and governance.^[6]

In December 2007, she was hired as the Foundation's Executive Director.^FITML Over the next two years, she oversaw growth of the staff including the addition of a fundraising team, and an office move from Tampa to San Francisco.

In October 2009, Gardner was named by the Huffington Post as one of ten "media game changers of the year" for the impact on new media of her work for Wikimedia.^[8]

In January 2012 when Wikimedia reached its yearly donations goal, Gardner appeared at the top of every page for a brief time with her photo and a link to a thank you letter which stated that the fundraisers were over. The thank you letter also contains an option to donate, but has a close button that closes the banner for good when clicked.^[9]
