Anne Purves is the Director of Design Operations at Pinterest. She has not only shaped the role of ops within the organization, but has also championed design through the rapid growth of the company. Anne has also found a way to introduce “process” into cross functional teams and not have people revolt. Prior to Pinterest, Anne hailed from both agency (Method SF) and product worlds (Jawbone) where she had in-depth experience working with a variety of clients and complex design challenges. She lives with her husband and son in San Francisco.
