Polygon hires Ex-Airbnb Director Bhumika Shrivastava as Global Head of HR

Ethereum scaling platform Polygon, which onboards users to Web3, has announced the appointment of Bhumika Srivastava as the new Global Head of HR. 

The latest appointment follows Polygon’s hiring of Tyler Sellhorn as Head of Remote, showing their further commitment to a fully decentralised workplace and compensation package at par with Web3 employers.

Web3 mainstream adoption is one of the organisation’s biggest challenges, and employing people-centric solutions will maximise the potential of Polygon’s human capital in reaching its brand objectives. In her new role, Bhumika would be tasked with instilling a solid HR strategy to improve employee experience and drive leadership and culture.

Previously, Bhumika was the former Head HR and Director for Employee Experience at Airbnb. Her experience of over two decades directing HR will prove invaluable for Polygon’s continued commitment to sustainably onboard millions of new users to Web3. She counts Snapdeal, Adobe and Yahoo as her previous employers. 

“I am delighted to be announcing my appointment as Global Head of HR for Polygon, a Web3 industry leader that truly understands the value of people. At Polygon, I will be joining a team with shared values of sustainability, inclusion, diversity and growth in an exciting and fast-growing industry. I look forward to the challenge of working with this ambitious group of highly talented people that values innovation to its core,” said Bhumika Srivastava.

Polygon has seen a rapid expansion of its fully remote global employee base and Bhumika’s experience will be crucial in guiding future expansion across the in-house and remote workforce. She will be instrumental in creating a robust HR strategy to support the company’s rapid growth.
