+    <h2>Executive Director</h2>
+
+    <p>
+      Stormy Peters is the GNOME Foundation's executive director. She is tasked
+      with managing and growing the GNOME Foundation as an organization.
+      Working with the Board of Directors, Advisory Board, and the GNOME
+      Foundation members, Stormy will help strengthen the Foundation by
+      attracting new industry members and community contributors to create an
+      awesome, easy-to-use, free and open source desktop, a strong development
+      platform and accelerate the adoption of GNOME. Stormy's combination of
+      industry expertise and community background will enable the Foundation to
+      extend its outreach to industry, sponsors and the community, as well as
+      increasing contact with new constituencies like mobile developers and
+      governments considering deploying GNOME.
+    </p>
+
+    <p>
+      As an open source advocate, Stormy has established relationships with the
+      open source community and industry sponsors, including GNOME. Stormy has
+      been involved with the GNOME Foundation, having been one of the founding
+      members of the GNOME Foundation Advisory Board in 2000 and a keynote
+      speaker at last year's GUADEC. Her previous positions include that of
+      Open Source Program Manager at Hewlett-Packard and Director of Community
+      and partner programs at OpenLogic.
