Hayden Brown

Main content

For Upwork President and CEO Hayden Brown, helping the global community was top of mind in 2022. When the war broke out in Ukraine, Brown’s purpose-driven values powered her initiative to ensure Upwork’s team members in the region were paid with advances and aided those who needed to relocate or evacuate. These efforts led to Brown’s team launching a way for individuals to send support directly to freelancers by making Project Catalog purchases as a donation. With the rise in remote work opportunities, Brown is excited to expand Upwork’s footprint and continue creating economic opportunities around the globe.
