Hi, I'm Philippe and I'm VP of Community for the Stack Exchange Network.
I currently am the pet-parent to a troublesome and loveable cat, Lua. I used to raise Guinea pigs as well, but they've all moved on - to new homes or otherwise.
I'm in Oklahoma, and I have nearly 20 years of community management experience at sites like reddit, Atlassian, and the Wikimedia Foundation.
You're very welcome to reach out to me at any time, but I will caution that I get a huge amount of email, and I'm probably not the best person to help you. If you need help with this or any of our sites, I strongly advise you to check the help center or try sending us a note through the contact form. If all else fails, you can try sending me an email at [email protected], but be aware that it may be some time before I can respond.
