Entertainment veteran Amanda Farrand has a new gig — where she’s in charge of sparking joy on the internet, and, ideally, making some money from it.

Upworthy, a digital aggregator and producer of viral uplifting stories, has hired Farrand as its new CEO. She officially joined the L.A.-based company on May 26 after holding senior roles at Imagine Entertainment and Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine.
