Unfortunately Mozilla's brand new CEO is a McKinsey ghoul: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chamberslaura/
- She spent 2 yrs at McK 20+ yrs ago - hardly a personality-defining milestone, given how a lot of business students start their career in consulting.
  
  I mean that's pretty standard for a McKinsey ghoul:
  Step 1: go to an ivy league college, get a business degree
  Step 2: work for McKinsey for a few years as an associate
  Step 3: get a job at a McKinsey client leapfrogging everyone else into management/c-suite
  Step 4: hire McKinsey to bring their arrogant children into your org and screw things up
  Everything about her subsequent career has been going from one upper management/c-suite role in a tech company to another. This is not the resume of a person who should be running a nonprofit that controls the most important open source project on the internet. But beyond that just look at what she's done in her one month at Mozilla:
  Massive round of layoffs
  
  "Focus on {buzzword}" where {buzzword} in this case is AI
  
  That's straight out of the McKinsey playbook.
