Pinterest pays $22.5 million to settle gender discrimination lawsuit
Former chief operating officer Francoise Brougher brought her case against the San Francisco-based company in August. She says she was sidelined after raising concerns about sexist conduct at the firm.
Social media firm Pinterest will hand $22.5 million (€18 million) to a senior female executive who was fired after she pushed for equal pay.
Francoise Brougher, the former chief operating officer, brought the gender discrimination case in August after being fired in April.
Details of the settlement appeared in regulatory filings by the tech firm late on Monday.
Brougher said she was also excluded from meetings when she raised concerns about fair renumeration and sexist comments made in the workplace.
