ABOUT ME:
I am a futurist with over 20 years of experience working and investing in mission-driven people, technology, service and product companies. I primarily lead this work through WunderLyon Labs, a strategy and operations advisory services company that I founded to work with impact-oriented organizations. I bring my clients my expertise in GTM strategy, business and corporate development, geographic expansion, and new business launches, while also coaching executives and their teams. I also invest in venture capital as a limited partner with Emmeline Ventures and Phoenix Fund.

My experiences include heading up strategy, M&A and growth at startups such as Bowery Farming, Sidewalk Labs, and Flatiron School. As an executive at IBM, I held numerous global roles in venture investing, strategy, business development, portfolio management, and partnerships. I began my career in finance and then marketing, have worked in the for-profit and non-profit sectors, and have worked globally esp in the U.S. and in China. As a lover of the arts, I am also a theater producer and an avid arts consumer.

I earned my BA in Economics and Finance from Princeton University, and my MBA from Harvard Business School.

Hailing originally from California, I now live in New York with my husband and two children.
