Introduction
Anna Troberg, born 9 April 1974 in Landskrona, is a translator and an author, former party leader of the Swedish Pirate Party. She currently resides in Järfälla, a suburb north of Stockholm, Sweden.
Early life and career
Troberg was born in Landskrona, but moved to Borlänge at a young age.
She has worked as the head of the Swedish branch of a publishing house.
On the 22nd of December 2015 Wikimedia Sweden announced Anna Troberg to be the new operations manager of Wikimedia Sweden from the 6th January 2016.
Pirate Party
Troberg's entry into the Pirate Party has been described as a complete ideological turnaround from the stances associated with her previous publishing career. She challenged the pirates with questions on her blog, and getting them answered to satisfaction, she decided that the pirates were right and that technology had superseded much of copyright law.
Following this, she was invited to get active in the party at management level, and was appointed deputy party leader in 2009. Having worked closely with the previous party leader Rick Falkvinge for 18 months, she stepped up to the party leader position as he resigned on 1 January 2011.
She considers one of her most important tasks as leader of the Pirate Party to add more compassion to pirate politics and go beyond the technical focus.
Troberg is considered to have a more polished appearance than her predecessor.
Personal life
Troberg lives in a row house in Järfälla, Sweden with her girlfriend and several cats and dogs.
