Carlson

Following its recent $110M Series C funding round and the news of a strategic investment from Serena Williams, Karat announced that Teresa Carlson is joining the company's board of directors. She joins existing board members, including Karat co-founders Mohit Bhende and Jeffrey Spector, former Twitch COO Sara Clemens, and Parker Barrile, partner at Norwest Venture Partners, who was previously vice president of product at LinkedIn. Carlson most recently served as president and chief growth officer of Splunk and vice president for Amazon Web Services' worldwide public sector and industries businesses. She also held the role of vice president for federal sales and operations at Microsoft. Carlson currently serves as the non-executive chair of KnightSwan Acquisition. In April 2022, Karat announced that it has received a strategic investment from tennis champion Serena Williams to scale the company's Brilliant Black Minds program, which provides free technical interview practice and feedback to current and aspiring Black software engineers in the U.S. Karat, headquartered in Seattle, created the Interviewing Cloud to solve the global shortage of software engineers. The Interviewing Cloud is an always-on, scalable and consistent human + tech solution for conducting predictive, fair and enjoyable technical interviews 24/7.
