Technology conference Web Summit has named Katherine Maher, the former head of the Wikimedia Foundation, as its new CEO, replacing co-founder Paddy Cosgrave. Maher's appointment comes after Cosgrave stepped down following controversy over his comments on the Israel-Hamas war. Web Summit plans to expand its offerings beyond its current podcast and summit format to include a membership that provides access to events worldwide. Maher's background in hospitality and luxury brands is seen as an asset for this expansion.
