Tradeshift has recently made headlines due to allegations against its co-founder, Christian Lanng, who has been accused of forcing his former executive assistant to sign a 'slave contract' and subjecting her to years of sexual abuse and assault. These serious accusations have brought negative attention to the company and raised concerns about its workplace culture and leadership.
