Sindy Wilson Named CFO Of Kickstarter, Joins Everette Taylor To Become One Of The Few Black Duos At A Top Company

For two years, the position of CFO was left open at Kickstarter. Taylor shared that the factors that made Wilson the winning candidate were the strength of her resume and years of experience in the space. He also gravitated to her “sense of empathy and high EQ,” which he said are “not always common when you talk about the people [who] are behind the numbers.”

Wilson’s strengths “with buyers and sellers” also will come in handy for pledge management and digital marketing tools, Kickstarter’s first business lines. The launch aims to support creators throughout their funding campaigns and after.
