Danya Sherbini Joins TechEquity

We’re excited to announce that Danya Sherbini has joined TechEquity as our new Vice President of Data and Technology.

In this role, Danya will develop data strategies to support our programmatic work. Leveraging her technical expertise and experience in data science, policy, and social impact, she will collect and analyze a variety of data sources relevant to our mission and initiatives. 

Danya will also play a key role in our leadership team as we continue to shape TechEquity’s role in building a better tech economy.

“We believe that when data inequities and information asymmetries exist, they consolidate corporate power and enable the exploitation of everyday people. Public access to data and information is critical to achieving an equitable tech economy. I am thrilled to have Danya on the team as we deepen our use of data to enhance our campaigns and advocate for increased transparency in housing and labor.”

Catherine Bracy, CEO and Co-Founder of TechEquity
