Anya Kanevsky

Anya Kanevsky heads up Second Life Product, where she has overseen a shift to growth, a stronger, more balanced economy, a movement toward better community cohesion, and an overall forward-looking approach.

Prior to working for Linden Lab (first joining as a contractor in 2009 and then full-time in 2014), she was involved in a number of industries, including tech, higher ed, and oil & gas. She enjoys exploring worlds both virtual and physical and takes pride in building bridges-personal and professional.
