Initially lacking experience, Heather spent six months setting up a strategic framework, uncovering significant issues such as the misuse of the app for sexual harm against sitters.

The conversation delves into the importance of addressing safety on both the consumer and service provider sides, the critical role of data in trust and safety, and Heather's advocacy for transparency and user education to build trust in online marketplaces.
