Carolyn Doran was the former Chief Operating Officer (COO) of the Florida-based Wikimedia Foundation (WMF).[1] Born Carolyn Sue Bothwell, Doran was COO of the WMF from January 2007 to July of the same year.[2] Although never officially confirmed by the Foundation as to the specific reason(s) for her departure following a noticably short tenure in post, a British technology news and commentary website The Register broke the news that Doran had a criminal record in at least four states of America.[1]
At the time of her appointment in January 2007, Doron already had criminal records in three US states, those being Virginia, Maryland, and Texas, and furthermore, was also on parole for a motoring offence of a 'hit and run' whilst driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI).[1] The Register also revealed Doran's criminal record included convictions for theft, passing bad checks, petty larceny, additional DUIs, and causing unlawful wounding to her boyfriend by way of a gun shot to his chest.[1] When Doran left the Wikimedia Foundation in July 2007, it was discovered she had been recently arrested for a further DUI, and for a violation of her existing probation.[1]
