Mitchell Baker

Mitchell Baker co-founded the Mozilla Project to support the open and innovative web. As Executive Chair of Mozilla Corporation, Mitchell represents Mozilla in the public with a focus on policy, open source, and community, engaging in areas that touch on Mozilla’s unique history and ethos. She also works with the executive leadership team to strengthen how Mozilla’s entities work together to advance policy and community goals with greater urgency. Mitchell advocates for the open internet, open source, and the importance of connecting technology to its impact on individuals and society. Highly regarded as one of the pioneers of the web and for bringing the open internet to consumers, she was instrumental in Netscape’s decision to release its source code to the public. This led to the release of the Firefox browser and the creation of the Mozilla Foundation which spans software product development, educational initiatives, and participatory movements.
