Earlier this month, members of our team attended Experience Velocity 2026, a conference designed to gather leaders, technologists, entrepreneurs, and investors for connection and development. Across three days, Pinterest leaders joined discussions about culture, consumer behavior and the future of business. Amanda Saca, Sr. Director of Strategy and Operations, hosted an interactive session on the data-driven magic of Pinterest Predicts. Then Ricky Romero, Director of Executive Recruiting, led a fireside chat on the user journey from inspiration and intention to action with Carlos Garcia, VP of North America CPG Sales, and Chloe Wix, VP of GTM & Innovation. To close out the experience, our team attended Velocity’s Made En América: The American Latino 250 Gala, an evening celebrating the enduring impact of leaders, builders and innovators. Proud to be part of the conversations at Velocity and share how our product brings inspiration and impact to people and businesses around the world.

At Pinterest, we believe the best decisions come from rooms full of different perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds, and that starts at the very top. We're honored to be named a 2026 Corporate Champion by 50/50 Women on Boards, an organization that educates, advocates, and partners with companies and action groups to advance women to corporate boards. This recognition reflects our commitment to building a board that mirrors the people and communities we serve. When women hold seats at the table, it shapes how we lead, how we plan for the future, and how we build for our employees and for the millions of people who use Pinterest every day. Thank you to 50/50 Women on Boards for this recognition and for your work to expand access to the boardroom. And thank you to the remarkable women on our board whose leadership, vision, and dedication continue to pave the way forward.

Beauty trends don’t just cross borders, they evolve. This week, Pinterest launched our first-ever Beauty Trend Report in Japan, hosted in partnership with Shiseido, to showcase how global data comes to life through local artistry. Our report analyzes billions of searches worldwide to predict surging aesthetics, like the futuristic "Arctic Frost" (up 286% globally). At the launch, we explored how massive international trends can be freely interpreted, personalized, and reimagined across different cultures, proving that the future of beauty isn't a single global standard—it's highly explorative. Pinterest is where the world goes to discover, customize, and shop the next big beauty trends. https://lnkd.in/eUQRytVx

Gen AI has enormous potential to unlock creativity, but as it reshapes the internet, we have a responsibility to ensure people can trust what they see. In my latest op-ed for New Statesman, I share why transparency and user choice must be at the center of AI innovation. At Pinterest, we’re taking steps to close that gap by labeling AI-generated or modified images, investing in detection technologies, and giving people more control over how much AI content they see. We’ve seen what happens when innovation outpaces the safeguards designed to protect people. We have an opportunity to learn from the last era of the internet and take a different approach with AI. Transparency isn’t a barrier to innovation. It’s what makes innovation sustainable. https://lnkd.in/gZSNvDJf

The Barbie® DreamHouse™ has always been a place to imagine what you love and how you want to live. Now, Pinterest and Mattel, Inc. are bringing that inspiration into people’s own spaces with a special experience in Restyle, our new visual editing tool powered by Pinterest Intelligence.

In recognition of World Mental Health Day on October 10th, we’re taking a moment to celebrate five years of investment, impact and community support, driven by the Pinterest Impact Fund. In 2021, we launched the Pinterest Impact Fund with a simple belief: if we want to help build a more positive internet and stronger communities, we have to invest beyond the platform, too. Since then, the Fund has evolved into a long-term effort to support organizations helping shape a healthier world for young people, both online and offline. In continuation of this work, Impact Ambassadors across our Pinterest teams are recognizing World Mental Health Day by hosting local volunteer activities to support mental health, youth wellbeing, education and community resilience. The commitment to build for positivity and inspiration extends beyond our platform and is highlighted in the ways we show up in the world. Thank you to every partner, community leader and team member who brings this commitment to life. Learn more in our five year Pinterest Impact Fund reflection: https://lnkd.in/eh8nyKpp
