Upwork announces appointment of Leela Srinivasan to its board of directors
Summary
Prior to joining SurveyMonkey, she has led marketing departments and initiatives for some of the most innovative organizations of their kind, including Lever, LinkedIn and OpenTable. In joining Upwork’s board, Srinivasan aims to help the company realize its mission to create economic opportunities so people have better lives and further the company’s focus on highly-skilled knowledge work. As a passionate advocate for diversity, inclusion and belonging, I also recognize Upwork’s potential to level the playing field - to transform how businesses find talent and create new economic opportunities for people who might otherwise be passed over due to geography, or having a nontraditional background or a smaller network. Kasriel was recently named a regional winner of the prestigious EY Entrepreneur Of The Year® Award while Chief Business Affairs and Legal Officer Brian Levey was appointed to the newly formed Small Business Capital Formation Advisory Committee for the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Leela earned her MBA in general management from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth and her MA in history and English literature from the University of Edinburgh in her native Scotland.
