TaskRabbit, the nation's first service networking platform, is pioneering the way people get things done. TaskRabbit leverages the latest technology and the social networking movement to bring neighbors together to live smarter and more efficiently. A two-way marketplace, TaskRabbit connects 'TaskPosters,' people who need help, with 'TaskRabbits,' a network of pre-approved and background-checked individuals, who have the time and skills needed to complete the job. Based in San Francisco, Calif., TaskRabbit is backed by notable investors, including Baseline Ventures, First Round Capital, FLOODGATE Fund, Collaborative Fund, and Shasta Ventures. The company has been featured in the Wall Street Journal as well as on NBC's The Today Show.

I am inspired by the opportunity to impact people’s lives every day all over the world, which is why as a leader, I believe my purpose is to make it easier for others to achieve their goals. This often means practicing discernment and flexibility in the face of challenges. From my experience managing global operations at Google and TaskRabbit, I know what it takes to execute at scale, and I’m not afraid to take calculated risks. However, I also know that things don’t always go the way we expect them to, and you’ve got to have a plan if things don’t work out. But most importantly, you’ve got to have the courage to stick to the plan when things get tough and trust your team to follow through. Due to the events of 2020, nothing is going according to plan, and we are having to reimagine so much of our world, especially the way we work. As a leader, I’m inspired by the opportunity for us to grow and to rethink it to be more inclusive, productive, and impactful. I know if I continue to do good work and follow my heart in a way that allows me to accomplish more, it will pay off. I am passionate about creating diverse and inclusive opportunities, especially in the black community, which is why I am on the investment committee of SoftBank’s Opportunity Fund and a board member for Black Girls CODE. I also stay involved in the tech and consumer industries through my role as board director for Nordstrom and HP. It was an honor to be named a 2016 Henry Crown Fellow with the Aspen Institute, and Fortune's 2015 40 Under 40 and I will continue to use the visibility as motivation to tackle some of the greatest challenges of our time, for my family, my community and the world.
