SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Instawork, the leading digital marketplace connecting local businesses with skilled hourly professionals across the U.S., announced today the addition of Cathy Hardin as Chief Revenue Officer. Prior to joining Instawork, Cathy spent the last several years in revenue and strategy leadership roles for Angi and Main Street Hub, where she was Executive Vice President of Sales and Revenue, and played a major role in scaling revenue teams and go-to-market strategies, as well as executing the merger between HomeAdvisor and Angie’s List.
Instawork recently announced a $60 million Series C financing to accelerate its support of a number of industries, including food and beverage, hospitality, retail, and warehouse logistics.
