Hanni fell in love with WordPress a decade ago, and hasn’t looked back.

This love led her to build the Happiness Team at Automattic, which she subsequently led, engineering the Happiness of WordPress.com users and Automatticians alike over the course of almost six years.

Fiercely passionate about law which has studied in both the UK and France, she is now chasing her dream, preparing for the New York Bar exam and studying for a masters in I.P. law. Hanni can often be found with her head buried in a judgment, book, or alternatively avidly watching The West Wing, or indeed any Sorkin creation.

She loves to run, can’t sing, is currently a nomad, keeps a weblog which is imaginatively entitled Hanni Ross, asks too many questions, and can often be found with a cup of coffee in hand.
