Poshmark Appoints Serena Williams to Board of DirectorsREDWOOD CITY, Calif., Feb. 20, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Poshmark, a leading social commerce platform for the next generation of retailers and shoppers, today announced the addition of businesswoman and tennis champion, Serena Williams, to its board of directors. "Poshmark is disrupting retail by making shopping and selling social again, and I love working with a company that gives anyone an opportunity to become an entrepreneur. I'm also excited for the community to shop my Posh Closet for Charity, which will benefit a cause that's very important to me," said Williams. Recognized as one of the greatest athletes of all-time, Williams is also an accomplished entrepreneur and fashion icon. Last year, Williams launched her own clothing line, SERENA, making her a natural fit for Poshmark as the company continues to scale its social commerce platform. Williams has been an advisor and investor in companies for many years, and she is passionate about empowering businesses owned and run by women and minorities. "Poshmark was built by a community of strong, independent women just like Serena Williams," said Manish Chandra, founder & CEO of Poshmark. "As both our company and community continue to grow, it's important that we bring smart and diverse new voices to the table, and we couldn't be more thrilled about what the future holds with Serena in our corner." Shop Serena's Closet Since 2011, Poshmark has been a leader in the emerging social commerce phenomenon, continuously innovating its platform to build an engaged community powered by 40 million people in 80 percent of the country's zip codes. The company, which powers a sale nearly every second, has distributed over $1 billion to its community of sellers. An interview with Chandra and Williams can be viewed here.
