The Internet Society Names Kathryn Brown as New CEO
The Internet Society, a Reston- and Switzerland-based organization focused primarily on Internet policy, has named Kathryn Brown as its new CEO. Brown, who will work out of Reston, succeeds Lynn St. Amour, who announced in February that she would be stepping down at the conclusion of her contract. “The search for a new CEO was both global and comprehensive,” said Bob Hinden, chair of the Internet Society’s board of trustees. “Kathy is a proven leader with in-depth knowledge of global Internet governance policy and has a keen understanding of the many stakeholders debating the future of the Internet.” Brown most recently served as a senior advisor at Albright Stonebridge Group, and previously was Verizon’s senior vice president of public policy and corporate responsibility.
