Cheddar Names Scott Belsky to Board of Directors

Founder of Behance and advisor/investor in Pinterest, Uber, and Periscope to help shape product vision

MARCH 8, 2017, NEW YORK, N.Y. — Scott Belsky has been named to the board of directors of Cheddar Inc. He will participate actively in shaping the company’s consumer facing experiences and strategic roadmap.

“Scott is universally regarded as one of the great product minds in the industry. I trust his instincts deeply and his ideas for Cheddar are transformative. On a personal note, he is someone I turn to for calm and clear counsel. He is the ideal independent board member for Cheddar,” said Jon Steinberg, Founder and CEO of Cheddar.

Belsky has spent his career working at the intersection of technology, design, and consumer products. He was the Founder and CEO of Behance, the world’s leading platform for creative professionals, which was acquired by Adobe in 2012. He was also an early advisor/investor in Pinterest, Uber, Warby Parker, Periscope, sweetgreen, and other consumer-facing companies that value design and technology. He also serves as a Venture Partner with Benchmark.

“As a NYC entrepreneur, I have known Jon for years and have long admired his vision for the future of media, from building Buzzfeed to the founding of Cheddar. I’m excited to contribute to the evolution of “Post Cable Networks” from the front line,” Belsky said.

Belsky is also the author of MAKING IDEAS HAPPEN, a national bestselling book used by teams across the creative industries to optimize management and performance.

“Scott has a tremendous reputation for making products better. I look forward to seeing his ideas getting reflected in the Cheddar user experience,” said Jeremy Liew, partner at Lightspeed Venture Partners and Cheddar board member.
