Today, Oath, a subsidiary of Verizon (NYSE, Nasdaq: VZ)
announces the launch of a global Board of Advisors comprised of
some of the most entrepreneurial, talented and socially influential
leaders from multiple industries including finance, sports,
lifestyle, and news. Serena Williams is the founding
Chairwoman of Oath’s Board of Advisors and will be joined by
founding members Russell Wilson, Tamika Catchings, Ciara, Chuck
D, Rickie Fowler, Carla Harris, Karlie Kloss, Joey Logano, Zac
Posen, Abby Wambach and Regina Wilson.
"As we look toward the future of Oath, it is critical for us to
have the best minds, best talent, and best connectors in the world
advising us on being globally competitive," said Tim Armstrong, CEO
Oath. "Oath's Board of Advisors, led by Chairwoman Serena Williams,
represents the leadership, creativity, work ethic, and philanthropy
we aspire to as a company and they will help us make Oath a company
unlike any other.”
Oath’s Board of Advisors is a diverse and talented group of
innovative leaders with a track record of building successful
brands from the ground up. Oath’s Board of Advisors are not only
leaders in their chosen professions, but have also built
enterprises in passion areas of their lives as well as
philanthropic foundations. This remarkable group will share their
invaluable brand expertise with Oath leadership and have access to
Oath’s iconic brands, including HuffPost, Yahoo Finance, RYOT,
Tumblr, MAKERS, Yahoo Sports and Yahoo Lifestyle, as well as its
global user base to build content relevant to their passion issues.
In addition, Oath’s philanthropic and social impact arm, Oath for
Good, will work closely with each Advisor, providing significant
financial and volunteer contributions to the cause of their choice.
For example, Oath for Good is proud to support The William Sisters
Fund in its goal to connect residents affected by violence with
service providers at the Yetunde Price Resource Center (YPRC) in
Compton, CA, and Carla Harris in her efforts to empower underserved
and underrepresented communities through education.
“I am on a continuous mission to challenge myself and others to
take big risks,” said Serena Williams. “Serving as the Chairwoman
of Oath’s Board of Advisors allows me to bring to life my goal of
standing for inclusion -- whether for black people in tennis, women
in Silicon Valley, or creating clothes that fit every body type. I
look forward to leading and learning from this team, and helping as
we work together to build brands that ignite passion in people
around the world. My oath is: perseverance, determination,
pioneer.”
