I’m joining Chief!
I am **extremely** excited to announce that I am joining Chief, based in New York, where I will be leading editorial and brand voice. Chief is a tremendously badass company, led by women I’ve long-admired, Lindsay Kaplan and Carolyn Childers. Their mission is to create the first and most-powerful professional network of women in C-suite and VP-level roles across industries. Chief recently raised $22 million co-led by General Catalyst’s Ken Chenault, the legendary former CEO of AmEx, and Inspired Capital’s Alexa von Tobel (both Ken and Alexa now hold Chief board seats).
Every career decision I’ve made is highly intentional. If I’ve been lucky enough to know you, learn from you, or engage with you as a writer, I believe I owe it to you to explain the logic behind this jump from VC and journalism to an operator role at a 🚀 (yep, that’s a flex).
Or maybe I just needed to write this out for myself. Either way, here goes it (sorry this isn’t short!):
People often ask me what, exactly, I do. It’s a good question. I don’t really know the answer.
After studying English and creative writing at Middlebury (and raging against the finance and consulting machine), it confused many of my peers when I decided to start my career in management at Bridgewater Associates, the world’s largest hedge fund.
