Zack Exley (born December 5, 1969) is a political and technology consultant, previously employed as the Chief Revenue Officer〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wikimedia Foundation staff and contractors )〕 (formerly Chief Community Officer) at the Wikimedia Foundation. Before that he worked at ThoughtWorks, a global IT consultancy. He is also the co-founder and former president of the New Organizing Institute, a progressive political technology training organization. ''Politico'' reported in August 2015 that Exley had joined the Bernie Sanders presidential campaign as a senior advisor responsible for digital communications. In 2004, he was the Director of Online Communications and Organizing on John Kerry's presidential campaign and, according to British press reports, he directed Internet operations for the UK Labour party's re-election campaign in 2005. In both cases, the campaigns' opponents attacked Exley as a controversial figure, hoping to make his hiring a campaign issue.〔The Independent (UK), "No 10 in new dirty tricks row over role of US 'garbage man'," February 27, 2005; RNC Press release, "Zack Attack!", April 5, 2004.〕 Exley was Organizing Director at MoveOn.org during the group's campaign to prevent the Iraq War, and during its controversial involvement with the Dean campaign. He was criticized then too, for "rigging" the "MoveOn Primary" in favor of Dean—a charge the group rejected.〔Franke-Ruta, "Zero Sum," American Prospect, June 6, 2003 from http://www.prospect.org/webfeatures/2003/06/franke-ruta-g-06-25.html〕 Prior to working for MoveOn, Exley created the political parody website, GWBush.com, as well as cnndn.com, a site that parodied financial reporting. Both sites attracted legal action by the 2000 Bush presidential campaign and CNN, respectively. CNN successfully closed cnndn.com. The Bush attack led to increased publicity for Exley's site and set legal precedent〔Techlaw Journal from http://www.techlawjournal.com/election/20000420.htm〕 that has allowed political websites to operate without FEC regulation. In response to GWBush.com, George W. Bush—then a presidential candidate—called Exley a "garbage man" and said he believed the website should be forced to be shut down, explaining "There ought to be limits to freedom."〔Associated Press, May 21, 1999; Dallas Morning News, May 21, 1999; Jefferson Muzzel Award from http://www.tjcenter.org/past2000.html#item01〕 Around the 2000 election controversy, Exley used a website to allow citizens to self-organize more than 100 protests around the United States.〔Exley, "Organizing Online" Mother Jones, December 9, 2000 from http://www.motherjones.com/commentary/columns/2000/12/countercoup.html〕 Exley also used to run the site ''Revolution in Jesusland'', a blog that sought to create dialog between the secular left and groups within Evangelical Christianity that promote economic and social justice as a matter of faith. Exley began his political career working as a union organizer, and has also worked as a computer programmer.〔Neal, Terry. Nov 29, 1999.
