WPfounders

My name is Gina Gindorf, and I’m the co-founder and CMO of Loya. Originally from Germany, I have spent the last several years living and studying internationally, including earning my Master’s degree in Public Relations and Corporate Communications from New York University. Throughout my career, I’ve worked across marketing, communications, and technology, helping startups tell their stories and grow their businesses.

I’m Nizam Uddin, Co-Founder and CEO of weDevs, one of the largest bootstrapped WordPress product companies to come out of Bangladesh. I was born and raised in a rural village in Pabna. Life there was simple and, in many ways, limited. We didn’t have electricity until 2003. Still, my family made sure one thing was never limited: my education. Things started to shift when I earned a scholarship in class five and moved to Pabna Zilla School. That phase changed how I saw the world. I began to dream bigger.

I am Tommy Nguyen, and I call Nha Trang home, a Vietnamese coastal city that feels like the country’s own version of Long Beach, with white sand beaches, deep blue water, and breezy weather almost every day of the year. It’s the kind of place that keeps you both grounded and energized, which probably says something about how I try to run a business.

My name is Jason Rouet, and I am the Mediapapa plugin’s Product Manager. I was born around the same time Tim Berners-Lee was publishing the first website, and I live in Cognac, western France. And yes, it is not just the infamous Brandy’s name! I studied geography, languages, and digital tourism. At some point, building things online became my obsession, I dropped out of university, and I started freelancing. That decision turned out to be one of the better ones I have made.

My name is Muhammad Abdullah Khan. I’m a computer engineer, product builder, and the founder of SiteSkite. I am from Pakistan & currently based in Istanbul, Turkey, building products for global users. My journey into the digital world started quite early. As a child, I was fascinated by computer games. I was the kid in school who brought many small games on floppy disks and played those black-and-white games in the computer lab.

I’m Leonardo Losoviz from Argentina, but I have lived in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, since 2012. Indeed, I’ve been in Asia since 2007, when I started a backpacking trip for 1 year, and that turned out to stretch far longer than expected, including 5 years spent in China. I’m fully settled in Asia by now, and (as much as possible) I go back to Argentina to visit my family once every year or two.

I’m Alex Frison, and I live in my hometown, Damme, Germany, a small town about 100 km south of Bremen. I like the balance there: rural enough to feel grounded, but still lively and connected. A great place where my kids can grow up in a peaceful environment. My path into tech wasn’t the classic “study first” route. After school, I made a conscious decision not to go to university, because I wanted to start working rather than getting stuck in theory.

I live in the Chicago suburbs now, though I’ve moved around quite a bit over the years. I’ve called New York, San Diego, and Vancouver home at different points, and I’ve spent extended time in the Philippines, India, and Morocco. Travel has always been a big part of my life. I did my undergrad at the University of Illinois and then went to Columbia University in New York for grad school in architecture.

December 26th, 2025 We’ve made it to the end of another year. Before the calendar turns, it’s meaningful that we pause to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, a moment of reflection, gratitude, and spiritual reconnection for those who believe. And for everyone, wherever you are in the world, it’s a time to slow down, be present, and enjoy the celebrations. This quiet space between years gives founders something rare: perspective.

My name is Benjamin Zekavica. I’m 27 years old and the founder of UnleashWP, a brand created under Kreo Pulse, my creative and digital studio. I’ve been active in the WordPress community for more than ten years and currently serve as a WordPress Core Team Rep, contributing directly to the development of WordPress itself. UnleashWP grew out of my day-to-day work with WordPress. My focus is on helping developers and companies run WordPress in a professional, secure, and scalable way.
