Kelly Bodnar Battles Brings Financial Expertise to ThredUp
ThredUp has welcomed veteran finance executive Kelly Bodnar Battles to its board of directors. She will not only serve as a board member but will also chair the audit committee, a critical role as the company pushes its AI-first approach in the resale fashion industry.

ThredUp’s Move Towards Stronger Financial Governance
ThredUp is ramping up its financial governance by appointing Battles, who has a track record of guiding companies through rapid growth and transformation. Her experience is expected to help ThredUp manage the complexities of scaling an AI-driven resale platform. With the fashion resale market booming and AI at the helm of innovation, the timing couldn’t be better—or more necessary. Let’s face it, with more secondhand jeans than ever changing hands, someone has to keep the numbers as fresh as the latest drop.
It’s inspiring to see ThredUp invest in leadership that values both innovation and sound financial practices. The company’s move signals a commitment to transparency and accountability—a rare but welcome trend in today’s fast-paced tech-fashion world.
