{{advert|date=July 2018}}PowerToFly is a recruiting platform that connects companies to women in tech, sales, marketing and digital.[1] Its founders, Milena Berry and Katharine Zaleski, were among Fast Company’s Most Creative People in Business in 2015.[2] PowerToFly sources and vets female engineers and places them in jobs that work for their careers and lives.[3] More than 1,000 companies have posted job listings on PowerToFly including Hearst, BuzzFeed and The Washington Post.[4]

PowerToFly is at the epicenter of two global shifts: the move toward remote hiring[5] and the one billion women entering the workforce[6] who want alternatives to traditional office cultures.[7] PowerToFly is focused on building distributed teams as a way to open an untapped tech talent pool.[8]

Leadership

Katharine Zaleski was the sixth employee at The Huffington Post[9] and Senior News Editor, former Executive Director of Digital at The Washington Post,[10] and founding Managing Editor at NowThis News.[11] Milena Berry is the former chief technology officer of Avaaz.org.[12] They launched PowerToFly in August 2014.[13] Katharine Zaleski’s essay, “I’m Sorry To All The Moms I Use To Work With” was Fortune’s most popular story of 2015[14] and sparked a massive debate about how women are treated at work. The story was shared widely around the world across social[15] as well as more traditional media outlets.[16]

The executive team includes Kylie Maddex, former Account Executive at Salesforce.com, as Head of Sales; Ana Martinez, former SVP of Product at Velocify, as CTO; Rachel Valdez, former Sr. Manager of HR at T-Mobile, as Head of Global Talent Management; Raquel Edora, former Director of Budget & Personnel at The Washington Post, as Head of Operations; Kristin Penney, former Director of Product Marketing TeleSign, as Head of Marketing; and Cathy Sharick, former managing editor at Time.com, as Executive Editor.[17]

The company has about 50 employees based around the world.[20]
