According to her, Elisabeth Diana, head of communication at Human Resources, is not in the company LinkedIn profile.
Bloomberg first A message was reported that Diana gave up Deel, who was recently accused of planting a spy in a competitive company Ripling.
Techcrunch contacted Diana, but he didn’t hear at the time of publication. Her LinkedIn profile shows that she began working in DEEL (whose general director Alex Bouaziz is in the photo above) in November 2021 and stopped working there in April 2025. She was previously the head of communication on Instagram and the head of corporate communication on Facebook.
Ripling, working force management platform, announced On March 17, that he sued Deel for alleged espionage, alignment of allegations from violation of the Rico racketeering act (often used to prosecute mafia members) in order to confuse industrial secrets and unfair competition.
At that point, Ripling didn’t reveal the name of the worker, but it modified on April 2, when he issued a statement signed by Keith O’Brien, who appeared to confirm Rippling’s accusations.
Even greater than a spectacular process that Ripling made against Deel in March, O’Brien’s account seems like a script for a corporate espionage film, along with the sting operation and a broken phone.
The future of Deel, which has recently been valued at 12.6 billion dollars, stays undermining. The startup is supported by General Catalyst, Andreessen Horowitz, Spark Capital and Y Combinator. It was said that he was looking at public markets just two months ago.
Deel responded to Rippling’s lawsuit with a statement refusing to “all legal offenses” and the claim that his rival strives to “transfer narrative” from accusations that wave that he violated Russian sanctions. The company didn’t reply to additional requests for comment.
