Maya Wiley

Professor | The New School

Maya Wiley is a University Professor and faculty member at the Milano School of Policy, Management, and Environment. Before joining the New School faculty, Wiley served as counsel to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio for more than two years, during which she spearheaded the Mayor’s broadband strategy to target income inequality. Wiley helped negotiate and supported the launch of the Link NYC franchise — which transformed thousands of city pay phones into free Wi-Fi hubs — and advocated for the allocation of more than $70 million to establish wireless corridors in low-income public housing neighborhoods. She also developed a plan for more than 21,000 New York City public housing residents to receive free in-home wireless broadband services.

Maya Wiley served on the Steering Committee that informed the creation of the Just Tech Fellowship.
