Stocksy | Cooperative Stock

Summary

Stocksy CEO Brianna Wettlaufer challenged the cliches of stock photography and raised the standard of integrity in tech.

Brianna Wettlaufer is the CEO and co-founder of Stocksy, an artist-owned, multi-stakeholder tech cooperative in Victoria, BC. Brianna has worked as an executive in the stock industry for over 10 years.
