It’s Black History Month and we’re proud to highlight Black business owners like Shaqueal Thomas (he/him), owner of Courteney Paints, LLC and Thumbtack pro with Platinum status. “I love being a business owner because I have the flexibility to create my schedule, providing an opportunity to be with my family and expand my ideas for the future. Thumbtack has helped me grow my business tremendously by creating a platform to market and network with customers I may never have encountered.”
When you can work from anywhere, prioritizing family, friends and hobbies is easy. Just look at Laura Arrubla Toro (she/her/ella), Senior Public Relations Manager at Thumbtack. While most PR jobs were historically located on the east and west coasts, Laura never thought she could move to the mountains. But with our virtual-first working model, Laura can live and travel where she wants — while still advancing her career. Learn more about Laura's journey to working virtual-first.
Our employees get to take advantage of our Thumbtack Bucks benefit where they get reimbursed for hiring pros on Thumbtack — and we love to see their finished projects. Lasya Boddapati (she/her), Android and iOS Software Engineer, recently hired two pros to brighten up her space. “I hired Perfect Match Painting to paint my entire condo including 3 accent walls. I also hired FixTman LLC. to do several handyman jobs including TV mounting, headboard mounting and a gallery wall in the living room. I love being able to talk directly with the pros to discuss the project in detail. I tried several platforms at the same time to hire interior painters and Thumbtack was the most seamless experience by far!”
Raeok Kim (he/him), Software Engineer, knows there are many factors when choosing where to work, but company culture has proven to be the most important to him. He explains how diversity, collaboration and work-life balance are keys to great culture — and how Thumbtack exceeds his expectations in all three of these categories.

At Thumbtack, we empower local pros to turn their talents into thriving businesses, honor their contributions and support the causes they care about. Through our annual virtual Holiday Giveback, we celebrate the accomplishments of our pros and honor their community contributions. Our pros nominate a nonprofit to receive a grant from Thumbtack and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital is once again the recipient of this year’s annual virtual Holiday Giveback. They’ll receive $10,000 from Thumbtack to help them in their mission — to advance cures, and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment — and we’re proud to be a part of that.
We prioritize professional and personal growth at Thumbtack. And this is something that is especially important to our Chief Legal Officer, Melanie Margolin (she/her). In a recent episode of Reimagining Company Culture with AllVoices, Melanie talks about the role of mentorship in career growth, common mistakes in sponsor relationships, building diverse teams, and more. Tune in to this great conversation.
