Moloco, a tech company focusing on machine learning and data analytics, has announced the appointment of Iris Chen as its new general counsel and corporate secretary. Chen’s extensive experience in leading legal teams at high-profile tech companies will be pivotal as Moloco navigates future growth strategies.
Prior to joining Moloco, Chen was vice president and deputy general counsel at Airbnb, where she managed a team of over 50 legal professionals. Before her tenure at Airbnb, Chen held a significant legal role at Google as vice president of legal. At Moloco, she is expected to spearhead the company’s legal strategy, a role that will include overseeing compliance, advising on risk management, and playing a key part in shaping the company’s legal framework during its expansion.
Moloco’s decision to bring on someone of Chen’s caliber is strategic, given the constantly evolving regulatory and data privacy landscape in which tech companies operate. Her experience at two major tech giants could provide robust legal oversight and insight into how Moloco can scale effectively while adhering to complex legal standards.
The announcement of Iris Chen’s new role was made public on Wednesday, drawing attention to Moloco’s efforts in strengthening its leadership team for sustained growth in a competitive market.
