Her work on Slack’s updated responsive design was instrumental in attracting freemium users to its paid products and helping the company to scale. Prior to joining Slack, Harris was a Web Development Manager at Google, leading a team of 20 webmasters. As director of engineering at CBS Interactive, Harris led the launch of new products, including Moneywatch.com and SmartPlanet.com.
