Sarah Leary co-founded Nextdoor in 2011 and
returns to lead Marketing, Community, and Global Business
Operations.

Communications.
Nextdoor (NYSE: KIND) announced the return of co-founder Sarah
Leary and former senior leader Kelsey Grady to the leadership team.
Sarah will serve as Head of Marketing, Community, and Global
Business Operations and Kelsey will serve as Head of Global
Communications. Sarah and Kelsey’s appointments follow the return
of co-founder Nirav Tolia as CEO, as the team continues to focus on
building the essential neighborhood network.
As a co-founder of Nextdoor, Sarah Leary played a pivotal role
in the inception, building, and scaling of Nextdoor from the
beginning. Having previously served in senior leadership roles at
eBay and Epinions, Sarah’s drive to champion community paved the
way for creating Nextdoor, which now has over 90M neighbors, in
335,000 neighborhoods across 11 countries. Sarah's experience as an
investor, board member, and advisor to a diverse mix of
consumer-facing companies will help catalyze Nextdoor’s growth in
this next phase.
"It is special to return to Nextdoor at a time when the need for
strong local connections has never been more clear," said Sarah
Leary, Head of Marketing, Community, and Global Business Operations
at Nextdoor. "We launched Nextdoor almost 14 years ago, and since
that time, the platform has grown to reach a significant global
scale today. Community is at the heart of Nextdoor, and I’m excited
to rejoin the team as we continue the journey to build out the
essential neighborhood network."
With over two decades of communications experience and serving
as Nextdoor's Head of Communications from 2011 to 2017, Kelsey's
extensive knowledge of media relations, internal communications,
product communications, and owned content strategies will usher in
a new chapter of growth. Kelsey was instrumental in Nextdoor's
early growth stages, spearheading all facets of external
communications. After her time at Nextdoor, Kelsey founded a
successful communications consultancy where she partnered with well
known venture backed startups at all stages to drive strategic
communications programs.
“I am thrilled to join Nextdoor,” said Kelsey Grady, Head of
Global Communications at Nextdoor. “Now that Nextdoor has hit
scale, the ability to tell impactful stories about the value of our
platform has only increased and it is a driving force behind my
desire to lead communications once again at Nextdoor. I look
forward to reuniting with the team to further our mission.”
"I'm grateful to welcome Sarah and Kelsey's deep understanding
of our product and neighbors to the leadership team," said Nirav
Tolia, Chief Executive Officer at Nextdoor. "Their historical
perspective of Nextdoor and professional expertise are perfect for
our next stage. Sarah and Kelsey will help amplify our voice,
strengthen connections with our stakeholders, and raise brand
awareness in meaningful new ways."
