  1. Even though she’s very busy, she’s very accessible and very open. I have cried in front of her before…It was embarrassing but the fact that I was comfortable crying in front of a c-suite exec says a lot. She makes you that comfortable. She also advocated for me greatly to get my salary up – she lives equal pay for women.

  2. Kelli has been a great leader to our team because she empowers us to develop our methodologies that impact the business, and supports our recommendation. She is a powerhouse in Silicon Valley, with her advocacy and thought leadership around diversity in tech, closing the wage gap and empowering women in executive roles.

  3. Kelli is calm and supportive. As our SVP of People she meets people where they are and is incredibly capable of having different ways to connect with each person. She supports mobility of the people who work at Hired both up through the organization but also into other roles they want in other firms.
