Dear Wafa, 

 

I hope all is well! As you may have seen, I’m moving on to a new role within HD, as Deputy Director of the Digital Conflict region. This means I’ll still be working on social media issues, but I’m expanding my focus to cover our AI and cyber teams too, which I’m very excited about.  

 

As I prepare to transition into the new position, we are hiring for a new head of the social media and conflict mediation program at HD. I’m biased, but I genuinely think this a very exciting opportunity in the tech and conflict space and I would really appreciate you sharing with anyone you think might be interested.

 

Thank you so much and do feel free to put anybody in touch with me for more information, or to reach out to me directly about it.

 

Best wishes,
Maude
