Senior Director, Trust and Safety Product

Anna's team aims to make Upwork the most trustworthy, professional, and safe provider of talent solutions and jobs in the world by catching and deterring bad actors, while trying to minimize friction for users.

I joined Upwork from the social sector a few years ago because I was concerned by the unintended social consequences of major tech players. Upwork’s leadership is working to make the future of work a positive one. Since joining, I’ve been inspired to see the field as a whole take a hard look at itself and start to realize that we have to go beyond corporate social responsibility to think about both shareholders and stakeholders.
