Hayden Brown, the first female CEO of freelancing site Upwork, has been forced to make myriad changes just three months into her position. The company revealed that 36% of the US workforce freelanced during the pandemic, an increase of 22% since 2019. Brown is now committed to making Upwork “fully remote”. She says: “People have shifted not just their notions about remote work in this moment of crisis, but also their long-term views of how remote work will fit into their organizations.”
