Garvey would have been ideally positioned to select Maher as the cream of the rising crop of globally-minded true-believers to sell Wikipedia - and by extension the Global Goals and anything else her cohort wanted to promote - to a populace eager for something to believe in.
It is POSSIBLE that Garvey had some input to the selection of Maher--but evidence will be very difficult to find.
Maher was promoted after two previous female Executive Directors failed to shape the unruly, troll-infested bathroom wall of the internet into something that they could at least con the average establishment news organ into believing was both genuinely crowdsourced and passably woke - two goals that are mutually exclusive at best and neither of which Wikipedia has ever met.
Basically accurate. Sue Gardner's only "great achievement" was to turn the WMF into a very effective fundraising beast. And very little else. The "Flow" and "Visual Editor" projects both started under her Glorious Reign, and you know what happened to those.

Not sure that Tretikov did very much, apart from pissing off insiders. And the jury's still out on how insiders saw Maher. They are a paranoid bunch of tiny pricks so nothing they did to sabotage her would really be out of line.

I hope Trump releases who her real employer is and what color revolutions she was involved in.
