Top SchoolWes Wilson is a strategic operations executive and Chief of Staff at the OpenInfra Foundation with 11 years of experience building and scaling open source communities and products from Portland, Oregon. He has progressed through design, marketing, product, and operations leadership at OpenInfra, leading the rebrand, launching OpenInfra Live, and creating regional hubs in Europe and Asia to broaden global engagement. Wes founded and scaled multiple startups and platforms earlier in his career—Brandstack (acquired), ZippyKid, and Awesomatic—bringing entrepreneurial product instincts to nonprofit infrastructure work. Known for translating community needs into repeatable product and operational systems, he created the OpenInfra Project Funds model to better host and sustain projects. He combines hands-on design sensibility with board-level stakeholder management and trademark stewardship, a rare mix that keeps both brand and developer experience aligned. An early maker-turned-operator, he repeatedly turns sparse resources into durable platforms that advance open infrastructure collaboration.
