"It is with a mixture of sadness and gratitude that the Board of Directors announces that Pavel Richter will be leaving his position as Chief Executive Officer of Open Knowledge International as of today. He will be available to support the Board and Leadership Team until the end of 2017, to ensure a smooth transition. Since May 2015, Pavel has played a critical role in the development and success of the organisation. While we will miss him and his thoughtful leadership, we wish him the best of luck in his new endeavours. We want to thank him for more than 2 years of dedicated service which involved many significant accomplishments. He managed the successful transition from our founder to a new Leadership Team. He maintained the position of Open Knowledge International as one of the key stakeholders in the movement for more openness. Together with his Leadership Team, Pavel defined a clear strategy and partnership approach for Open Knowledge International to succeed in an ever-changing funding environment, and stabilized the organisation."
