Fresh Take:

Hey there! Exciting news, folks! Industry vet, Katherine August-deWilde, jumps on board Instawork's impressive team to amp up their AI-driven revolution and steer governance like a boss. With three decades under her belt, Katherine's financial savvy, workforce know-how, and tech-whizz skills are just what Instawork needs for their electrifying growth spurt[1].

Based in San Francisco, the tech-titan city, Katherine helms the Partnership for San Francisco, an organization that teams up private sector gurus to catapult the city as the global innovation superstar. Additionally, she's on the boards of solar energy firm Sunrun, Eventbrite, and chairs their compensation committees. She's also known for sculpting TriNet's public growth[2].

Back in the '80s, Katherine played a crucial role in shaping First Republic Bank during its formative years, serving as COO from '88 to '07, President from '07 to '15, and board member from '88 to '23. The bank skyrocketed under her guidance, scoring high for client service and sustained profits[3].

Sumir Meghani, Instawork's CEO and one of the co-founders, is excited about the boost Katherine brings: "Katherine's knack for guiding companies through transformations, growth, and innovation will prove priceless as Instawork embarks on its next phase."

Instawork, a digital workforce powerhouse, whips together 8 million skilled hourly workers and 1000s of business partners, fueling industries like warehousing, hospitality, retail, and more. Instawork's proprietary AI tools surge connections between businesses and talent, offering them not only flexible shifts but personalized career help, targeted training, and forward-thinking financial tools.

"Instawork is using AI to reinvent workforce connections at incredible scale," cheers Katherine, ready to join Instawork's board and marshal their expansion[1].

Katherine's work doesn't end there, though; she's also a board member of several privately held companies and nonprofits like Tipping Point Community and Housing Accelerator Fund[1]. She earned her MBA from the prestigious Stanford Graduate School of Business and her BA in History from Goucher College[2].

Instawork recently collected accolades as the "Workforce Hiring Solution of the Year" and graced the Forbes' Next Billion Dollar Startup list[4]. Instawork's focus on local economies has earned them coverage by respected media like CBS News, the Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, Associated Press, and more[5].

Instawork, founded in 2016, is a game-changing flexible work app connecting businesses and skilled hourly professionals in more than 50 markets across the U.S. and Canada. Follow them on Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook[6].
