LOS ANGELES, April 11, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Evite, the
leading digital platform for bringing people together, today
announced that the company has reached an important milestone:
women now make up over half of the members of its executive
team.
Women currently make up 59% of Evite's total employees and 52%
of its senior leadership roles. The heads of Product, Analytics and
Data Infrastructure, Mobile Development, Testing and Advertising
Operations at Evite are all women – a rarity in the tech industry.
Women also lead HR Legal & Operations, Process Excellence,
Sales Strategy, and Corporate Communications & Business
Development.
"With the tech industry under fire for gender inequality, I'm
proud to say Evite fosters a best-in-class environment in which all
employees can excel, regardless of gender," said Victor Cho, Chief Executive Officer of Evite.
"Our experience confirms the phrase 'female-friendly tech company'
doesn't have to be an oxymoron."
Evite offers an attractive environment for work/life balance for
employees, with perks such as paid family leave, unlimited
(trust-based) vacation, and flexible work schedules. This company
culture plays a significant role in attracting the best tech
talent.
The female-friendly environment at Evite dates back to 1998; one
of the Company's co-founders is a prominent woman in tech,
Selina Tobaccowala. Cho has
continued this legacy by promoting an open meritocracy where new
ideas are the norm and all employees have the chance to lead
strategic initiatives. With its recent move to a larger
headquarters in downtown Los
Angeles to accommodate growth, the Company expects to keep
hiring in 2017.
