Senior🎓
Top SchoolLiz Henry is a director and technical program manager with nearly two decades of hands-on engineering and release leadership, best known for shipping dozens of Firefox desktop and mobile releases to hundreds of millions of users. She combines deep release management craft—checklists, triage, and cross-functional coordination—with an unusual blend of backend engineering, sysadmin, and open source community experience dating back to the 1990s. A practiced public speaker, mentor, and consensus-builder, she moves projects forward without frustrating engineers and excels at extracting and documenting tacit technical knowledge. Liz also runs Grassroots Open Assistive Tech and supports disability-justice tech funding, reflecting a long-standing commitment to inclusive, community-driven open designs. Her background as a literary translator and published writer gives her a unique perspective on subtext and communication that she applies to technical documentation and cross-community connections.
