INNOVATION STATEMENT
Professionally: Identify, invest, and support startups targeting some of the largest industries in the global economy including FinTech, InsureTech, Healthcare, Real Estate, and Enterprise IT. Personally: Spend my time working with companies that can make the world a better place.
PIVOTAL MOMENT
The most pivotal moment is not work related. The death of a close friend early on in my career made me reevaluate priorities. Live is short. You spend most of your waking hours at work. Make them count. I believe it is important to do work that you are proud of, that is meaningful to you, that you enjoy, and where you have skills or expertise. For myself, I wanted to invest into industries that make a difference in the world, that overlap with industries that excited me and that I had knowledge of, and that I felt technology could make things cheaper, faster, and better. That left very few areas, and FinTech was one of them.
CURRENT CURIOSITY
Two areas of interest right now are: all things developer led, and initiatives in helping women be successful in tech and venture.
