The Nivenly Foundation

It is with immense sadness that we must share with you the news of the loss of our friend, our leader, and our mentor, Kris Nóva.

It was Nóva who inspired us to come together to build Hachyderm, whose vision created Nivenly, and whose mission we continue to carry forward. In her working life beyond Nivenly, she has left behind a legacy of professionalism and strength of vision, and we all miss her terribly.

@nivenly Oh my gosh I am so shocked. Nóva was such an icon of vitality: always doing, always moving, always climbing. I loved so much of what she did and loved the glimpses into her off-computer life, ice axe in hand. What an impression she left.

@nivenly Nóva was a friend, an ally, and a deeply thoughtful and caring person. She touched so many lives, including mine. And she was so kind to my kids.

This hurts so much.

But I am so grateful that I got a chance to meet and know Nóva, and to experience firsthand the kindness that drew so many of us to her.

I'm shocked and so sorry to learn this.

I met her briefly at Gophercon 2019 in San Diego, she helped with a course I took there. And she's the reason I'm here on Hachyderm
