Shelia Lirio Marcelo is Co-Founder and CEO of Proof of Learn, a Web3 education platform with a mission to unlock accessible, high-quality education across the world through blockchain and a learn-to-earn protocol.
Prior to POL, Sheila founded Care.com in 2006 and served as Chairwoman and CEO until early 2020. With Sheila’s leadership, the company had year-over-year growth of over 100% prior to going public in early 2014. Today, Care.com is the world’s largest online destination for finding and managing family care– serving more than 35 million people across 20 countries.
Sheila founded both POL and Care.com with a conviction that technology and innovation can address real-world problems, and that digital marketplaces, whether between caregivers and families on Care.com or students and employers on POL, are powerful platforms for equality and change.
