2023 was a busy year at Creative
Commons. Our Open Culture program
and Open Climate Campaign entered
their third and second years, respectively.
We hosted our first in-person CC Global
Summit since 2019 in Mexico City. We
held critical consultations and open
panels on AI, copyright, and the CC
Licenses, cultural heritage, education,
and science; and we launched our Open
Infrastructure Circle in an effort to
ensure the CC Licenses are funded well
into the future.  
We also marked transitions in leadership.
At the end of December, Catherine Stihler
concluded her time as Chief Executive
Officer (CEO) at Creative Commons, and I
transitioned in as Interim. In March 2024, I
was appointed CC’s permanent CEO. I
look forward to working closely with our
Board of Directors, staff, and larger
community on the critical work that
awaits us in 2024.
