She argues that new media technology and policy can foster more open and collaborative government, allowing people and institutions to work together to solve problems, make decisions, resolve conflict and govern more effectively.

She is the author of Wiki Government: How Technology Can Make Government Better, Democracy Stronger and Citizens More Powerful, she is also co-editor of The State of Play: Law, Games and Virtual Worlds. Currently, she is Director of The Governance Lab (www.thegovlab.org) and its MacArthur Research Network on Opening Governance, organizations that strive to improve people’s lives by changing how we govern.

A graduate of Harvard University and Yale Law School, she serves on the Global Commission on Internet Governance and chairs the ICANN Strategy Panel on Multi-Stakeholder Innovation. She has been named one of the “Foreign Policy 100” by Foreign Policy; one of the “100 Most Creative People in Business” by Fast Company; and one of the “Top Women in Technology” by the Huffington Post.
