Meredith Black is the co-founder and Chief Community Officer of the DesignOps Assembly. Prior, she started and grew Pinterest’s internationally renowned DesignOps team. However, after many years of working in design organizations at places like IDEO, Hot Studio, Facebook and Pinterest, Meredith started thinking about what’s next and started reconsidering her life trajectory. She left Silicon Valley and moved to Carmel Valley where she sees more cows than cars on a daily basis. In addition to running DOA, she now consults with companies worldwide on how to implement DesignOps within their organizations and how to successfully grow design teams.
