Andrea Zanni is a project manager and digital librarian with nine years of professional experience building IIIF-based digital libraries and open-access publishing platforms for GLAM institutions. Former president and long-time board member of Wikimedia Italia, she blends deep practical knowledge of wiki-based collaborative systems with hands-on project delivery at Horizons Unlimited. Her background spans university digital publishing (AlmaDL), an internship at CERN studying Invenio, and a startup stint handling social strategy and product tasks—evidence of both technical curiosity and operational versatility. A mathematician by training who first discovered digital libraries through Wikisource, she pairs strong communication skills (including TV hosting and social media curation) with a developer mindset signaled by her GitHub “Rustacean” identity. Notably, she has curated and published multiple open-access journals and managed digitized historical texts, reflecting a rare mix of archival sensitivity and modern digital infrastructure know-how.
