Brougher, who has been serving on the company’s board of directors for the past two years, brings a wealth of experience from her tenure at some of the tech industry’s most influential companies.
With over 25 years of leadership experience in strategy, business, and operations, Brougher’s career includes pivotal roles at Google, Square, and Pinterest. Her track record of scaling multibillion-dollar sales and operations revenue, coupled with her expertise in expanding global organizations, positions her uniquely to lead Velocity Global into its next phase of growth.
Brougher’s appointment comes at a crucial time for the global workforce industry. As companies increasingly seek to hire talent across borders, Velocity Global’s services in facilitating compliant hiring, payment, management, and retention of employees in over 185 countries become ever more relevant. Brougher’s experience in developing and deploying global workforces aligns perfectly with Velocity Global’s mission to empower companies to build teams anywhere in the world.
Ben Wright, Velocity Global’s Founder and Chairman of the Board, expressed enthusiasm about Brougher’s new role, stating, ‘Francoise is a seasoned leader who deeply understands our customers and partners, knows how to scale and grow an organization, cares for the people, and operates at lightning speed.’ This vote of confidence underscores the company’s expectations for Brougher to drive significant advancements in Velocity Global’s operations and market position.
In her new role, Brougher will be tasked with shaping Velocity Global’s vision and strategy. Her experience in taking both Square and Pinterest public suggests that she may be well-positioned to guide Velocity Global through potential future growth scenarios, including possible public offerings or major expansions.
Brougher herself emphasized the alignment between her personal and professional motivations and Velocity Global’s mission. ‘Creating equal opportunity for all drives me personally and professionally, and I believe that is exactly what we do at Velocity Global,’ she stated. This commitment to expanding global employment opportunities through Velocity Global’s platform could signal a focus on further democratizing access to international job markets.
The implications of this leadership change extend beyond Velocity Global itself. As companies worldwide grapple with the complexities of managing remote and international workforces, Brougher’s leadership could influence industry standards and practices. Her experience with tech giants that have redefined how we work and interact online may bring fresh perspectives to the challenges of global employment.
For businesses looking to expand their global footprint, Brougher’s appointment may signal enhanced capabilities and services from Velocity Global.
