Pinterest has gotten to a significant settlement with a former executive that filed a lawsuit against uncontrolled sex discrimination after she had been pushed from her job at the company, the business revealed Monday day.

Françoise Brougher functioned as Pinterest’s principal operating officer from March 2018 before the company fired in April of the year. Back in August, she filed a litigation against the business, alleging her dismissal had nothing to do with her execution and rather {} an act of retaliation against her for complaining of discrimination she encountered in the business.

While preparing Pinterest because of the 2019 IPO, Brougher found that she was intentionally misled concerning executive compensation in the company and has been being substantially underpaid compared to her man C-suite coworkers, her lawsuit alleged. Afterwards she brought the discrepancy to the attention of Pinterest CEO Ben Silbermann, she had been squeezed out of board and executive meetings along with communications as well as a consequence of the retaliation managed to carry out her job, she explained.
