About

Silber is also the chair of the board of Diffblue (whose products include Cover, an AI-driven unit test-writing tool).

Silber joined Canonical in July 2004, where her work has included leading the Ubuntu One project and ensuring that large organizations find Ubuntu "enterprise-ready".

She partially attributes the increasing attention to user research and design in open source since 2009 to Canonical's leadership in this area.

Silber announced her transition out of the CEO role in April 2017, with Canonical founder Mark Shuttleworth resuming the position from July 2017.
