{"id":7230939,"name":"Francesca Marano","url":"https:\/\/francescamarano.com","description":"With a career built across radically different contexts, from airlines to SaaS startups, from global open source communities to enterprise digital agencies, one thing has remained constant: I help organisations build the foundations that make growth sustainable.\r\n\r\nI grew up watching my parents, both programmers, drawing flowcharts on the kitchen table. Every problem has a structure, every structure can be designed better. That has been the thread running through everything I\u2019ve done.\r\n\r\nI\u2019ve spent just as much energy building communities and connections. When I talk to someone, I instinctively see who they should meet and what collaboration could emerge.\r\n\r\nThat\u2019s where my approach starts: understanding the full picture before finding the right solution. In practice, this means different things for different organisations: strategy, structuring and training teams, process redesign, or integrating new tools and technologies to do more with what you already have.\r\n\r\nSome things I\u2019m proud of. I co-led four major releases of WordPress, the CMS powering 40%+ of the web. I founded C+B, an editorial community of 80+ writers that helped thousands of Italian female entrepreneurs find their footing. I won a Stevie Award for mentoring. I built WP Includes to get more women into leadership.\r\n\r\nI believe in sharing knowledge generously. I am an educator, community leader, mentor, and international public speaker.","link":"https:\/\/italia.wordcamp.org\/2020\/author\/francina\/","slug":"francina","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/241584c8900ae5ccd62ff4c9db7d58e58bc9e0dc0162d4bdcac2a916d586c7ed?s=24&d=mm&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/241584c8900ae5ccd62ff4c9db7d58e58bc9e0dc0162d4bdcac2a916d586c7ed?s=48&d=mm&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/241584c8900ae5ccd62ff4c9db7d58e58bc9e0dc0162d4bdcac2a916d586c7ed?s=96&d=mm&r=g","128":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/241584c8900ae5ccd62ff4c9db7d58e58bc9e0dc0162d4bdcac2a916d586c7ed?s=128&d=mm&r=g","256":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/241584c8900ae5ccd62ff4c9db7d58e58bc9e0dc0162d4bdcac2a916d586c7ed?s=256&d=mm&r=g","512":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/241584c8900ae5ccd62ff4c9db7d58e58bc9e0dc0162d4bdcac2a916d586c7ed?s=512&d=mm&r=g"},"meta":{"jetpack_donation_warning_dismissed":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/italia.wordcamp.org\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7230939","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/italia.wordcamp.org\/2020\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
