My First New Adventure--Joining the Board at Slack

I’m thrilled to share the news that I’ve joined the Board of Directors for Slack as an independent director. You can read the full announcement from Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield here.

As I shared with the Slack team earlier today, this is the start of a new era for me; a new adventure. I want to take advantage of this opportunity in my life and career to work with organizations whose missions help evolve the way people work, share ideas, thrive and prosper. Enter Slack!

I was impressed by Slack from our first introduction. Internally, Slack has the kind of talent and spirit that can move a company forward, operating from a shared foundation that aligns so deeply with my own. The investment in both products and people at Slack is rare, and I’m grateful for the chance to work with and learn from such a remarkable team.

As a product, Slack helps people better connect in the workplace, and that’s something I’m passionate about. It’s a powerful mission, to make people’s working lives simpler, more pleasant and more productive. Slack is quite literally improving the work experience for millions of people, every day – connecting people across the world, breaking down borders, enabling exposure to different perspectives – bringing people together to transform organizations on a global scale.

It’s going to be a great adventure, and I look forward to getting started.
