HR & Executive Talent

I lead General Catalyst's Enterprise, Fintech, and International executive talent efforts, partnering closely with founders and key stakeholders on talent strategy through all their phases of growth, from inception to exit. I also spend meaningful time proactively building out relevant operator, board member, advisor, and future founder networks, with a particular focus on AI.

Prior to GC, I led talent and community at Canvas Ventures, where I partnered with early-stage founders across enterprise, fintech, and healthcare. Before my career in venture capital, I served as a member of Spencer Stuart's Board, CEO, and Technology practices, focusing on global board and cross-functional executive searches for pre-IPO and publicly traded companies. I started my career in sales, operations, and project management, helping build two startups in risk management and cybersecurity before their successful exits.

I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree, majoring in Philosophy, Politics, Economics, and Law (PPEL), from the University of Richmond, where I co-captained their Division 1 women's tennis team. I grew up playing almost a dozen sports and learned many lessons now core to who I am on a court, course, field, and rink. Outside of work, I play competitive tennis, squash, and golf, and sign up for adventurous pursuits like running a marathon or climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro. I serve on the Board of Directors for the Glen Cove Boys & Girls Club and am passionate about mentoring youth in underserved communities and charitable causes focused on animal welfare and clean water.
