interview<\/span> The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) on Tuesday appointed Nicole Ozer to succeed Cindy Cohn as the cyber rights group’s executive director when Cohn departs this summer.<\/p>\n

“The through line of my career has always been about driving greater access and equity and justice in the digital age,” Ozer said in an interview with The Register<\/em>. “EFF’s work has been my life’s work. EFF’s people are my community, and EFF has been my closest partner for more than two decades ….So it feels very right to be taking the torch from the amazing Cindy Cohn and leading EFF in this next chapter.”<\/p>\n

Ozer comes to the EFF from the Center for Constitutional Democracy at UC Law San Francisco where she served as the inaugural executive director. Prior to that she spent more than 20 years at American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Northern California, where she has led the organization\u2019s Technology and Civil Liberties Program.<\/p>\n
