Daniel Domscheit-Berg

Daniel Domscheit-Berg, born in 1978, helped build the WikiLeaks platform
from late 2007 to September 2010, and acted as its spokesperson under
the pseudonym Daniel Schmitt. He quit WikiLeaks when the project's focus
shifted away too much from its initial goals, and the organisation began
to suffer from narcicism. Domscheit-Berg published a book about his
experiences "Inside WikiLeaks", that was published in early 2011 and is
translated into 23 languages. He is currently working on the next
generation leaking platform called OpenLeaks, building on lessons
learned and aiming at a sustainable, long-term solution for more
transparency.

Before WikiLeaks, Domscheit-Berg worked for various fortune 500
companies in the past, mainly building enterprise-scale wireless and
wired networks for the automotive and transport industries. A network
security expert by trade, Domscheit-Berg is an advocate for transparency
and freedom of speech by heart, deeply caring for equal access to
knowledge and information in a globalized world.
