Velocity Global appoints finance and technology executive Junko Swain to its board of directors

--News Direct--

  • Swain to lead the Audit Committee
  • Brings over 25 years of experience in finance and accounting

Velocity Global, the leading provider of global talent solutions, announced today that notable finance and technology executive Junko Swain has joined its board of directors, where she will serve as an independent board member and lead the Audit Committee.

“I have admired Junko for years. Her reputation is unparalleled across Silicon Valley, and my own personal interactions with her only furthered that sentiment,” said Ben Wright, founder and CEO of Velocity Global. “You know a strong finance leader when you see one, and I’m honored that Junko will bring that financial leadership excellence to our company as a board member. Furthermore, her experience in human capital management and deep understanding of company operations at scale will be a huge lift to our team.”

Before joining Velocity Global’s board of directors, Swain held senior leadership positions with several technology companies, including Upwork, Vantiv, Apple, VMWare, and eBay, and successfully led the transformation of finance operations throughout the IPO process for two of these companies. In addition, Swain is a strong advocate for flexible work models and the future of work, having successfully built a strong performance-oriented finance organization by utilizing both independent talent and full-time employees at Upwork as well as a scalable organization through hybrid workforce management models, M&A integrations, and global finance operations at eBay.

Swain joins Robert Schlossman and recently-announced Francoise Brougher as independent board members, along with investor board members Cas Schneller, Kunal Aurora, and Parker Barrile.

“I'm passionate about the future of work as I've seen and personally experienced significant changes in the workplace in the past several years,” said Swain. “The rise of remote and hybrid work has opened up more diversity and equity for talent globally while allowing companies to access a truly global talent pool. Velocity Global is a pioneer in enabling employers and top talent to work with each other, regardless of location. I'm thrilled to join Ben and the team on the journey to providing borderless and boundless employment at scale.”
