News Summary

Carta, a cap table management firm, has settled two more lawsuits related to sexual harassment and discrimination claims. The lawsuits were filed by former employees Alexandra Rogers and Amanda Sheets. Rogers alleged sexual harassment by Carta’s Chief Revenue Officer Jeff Perry, who she claimed groped her on two occasions. After reporting the incidents to HR, she was allegedly terminated within two months. Perry denied the allegations and filed a defamation counter complaint, which has now been dismissed following the settlement. Sheets, a former account executive, alleged she was wrongfully terminated after requesting to work remotely due to chronic migraines, a request that was allegedly denied while male colleagues were granted similar accommodations. She claimed this was part of a pattern of sex discrimination at Carta. The company disputes Sheets’ claims and Perry’s involvement in the decision-making process regarding her request. Both lawsuits have been confidentially resolved without any admission of liability by Carta. These settlements follow a previous case settled in 2023 involving former VP of Marketing Emily Kramer, who had sued for gender discrimination and retaliation.
