Ellen Pao

Ellen Pao is co-founder and CEO of the award-winning diversity and inclusion nonprofit Project Include. Project Include collects, analyzes, and shares data to recommend actions and benchmarks for tech startups. Its reports on workplace harm since Covid are changing work culture. During her two decades as a tech leader and investor, Ellen was the first head of a major social media platform to ban revenge porn, unauthorized nude photos, and harassment. Her efforts to end workplace discrimination have led to the term “Pao effect.” TIME hailed her as “the face of change.” She has written about her experiences in her memoir “Reset” and for The Washington Post, TIME, The New York Times and WIRED.
