LOS ANGELES – Lisa Borders says she has resigned as president and CEO of Time’s Up, the gender equality initiative formed last year in response to sexual misconduct allegations in Hollywood.

Chief Operating Officer Rebecca Goldman will serve as interim CEO while the organization conducts an executive search.
