I am a Partner and Chief of Staff at the global investment and transformation company, General Catalyst. I have more than 20 years of experience in VC and tech, focused on operations, communications, and relationship building. In my current role, I provide connectivity and strategic prioritization for the firm’s chairman, Ken Chenault, GC’s chairman of health assurance initiatives, Ken Frazier, and CEO of GC-backed Health Assurance Transformation Company, Marc Harrison, M.D. I partner with them on their work with the GC ecosystem, the external organizations with which they are affiliated, and mission-driven initiatives that are in service of making a positive impact on society. I also drive their executive communications, including media relations and speaking engagements.
I was previously Chief Communications Officer at GC, leading internal and external communications. Having joined the firm at its formation, I was responsible for establishing its investor relations, marketing, PR, and internal communications functions in partnership with its founders, and played a leadership role in creating opportunities to build GC's brand and ecosystem through strategic partnerships, media relations, creative events, and new initiatives.
Prior to rejoining GC, I held leadership positions spanning marketing, communications, operations, business development, and strategy at Leerink Partners, a healthcare investment bank, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, and BBN Technologies (a GC portfolio company acquired by Raytheon).
I am a writer and an active member of my community. I am of Mexican and Indonesian descent, and I enjoy working with educators, administrators, and caregivers to create safe, welcoming learning environments for all students. I earned a B.A. in English from Mount Saint Mary’s University and an M.A. in publishing at Emerson College.
