Sherwin Siy, former Vice President of Legal Affairs at Public Knowledge, has passed away at the age of 40. Sherwin championed the public interest throughout his career, serving as a member of the Public Knowledge staff from 2006 to 2015. His technology policy work spanned many subjects, including copyright, privacy, telecommunications, and free expression. “We are heartbroken to have lost a beloved member of the Public Knowledge family, former Vice President of Legal Affairs, Sherwin Siy," said CEO Chris Lewis in a statement on behalf of Public Knowledge. "Sherwin was a pillar of our organization for nearly 10 years and a passionate advocate for the openness of information in the digital era. His intellect and expertise in the law made him a leader and mentor inside Public Knowledge at a relatively young age, but it was his humor and wit that endeared him to his colleagues. His openness and enthusiasm as a mentor to young advocates left a lasting mark across the entire field. Our hearts go out to Sherwin’s family with the loss of their wonderful son and brother.”
